I’m close to finishing my HO GP35 project, and need a cab interior! Does anyone know a good source? I noticed Cannon & Co. has one in the works, but no expected date. I emailed to ask if they had an idea of when it would be out, and received no response. I also can’t find any prototype pictures to try to scratch one.
HELP!
Keystone makes some nice looking kits. You can get them directly from Walthers. The one you want is in stock: It is Part Number 395-3305. The kits look nice and if I’m not mistaken are either white or light gray. There’s no photo of the GP/SD cab kit on Walthers site, however they do have the image of an F-unit cab kit. Here’s what that looks like:

Hopefully you have a photo reference as to the color of your prototype. For years EMD painted their cab interiors the traditional “Seafoam Green” color. However EMD switched over to a medium gray color sometime during the 2nd generation manufacturing period. Perhaps someone might post more details regarding that information
Here’s a shot of a GP40-2 interior.

Note that the engineer’s control stand is black. I like the nice, patriotic touch!

Thanks for the tip! I went and had one (3305) ordered up at the LHS.
Hey, very glad the information was helpful. Would be very cool if, affer getting the kit, you post some before and after photos of your work on a new thread.
