Since you've made it this far, here's a little update/changelog on it.
-Lights being reworked
-Cab roof added (rough copy, currently)
-Cab slightly lowered, window shapes fixed
-Current engine is a dummy one, with the correct horsepower amount (1,750)
-Railings kinda look cool now
-Door added on rear end of cab, currently working on the front nose door (pain in the booty hole)

Plans and in depth updates

If you haven't already heard, I'm doing it in the Southern Pacific "Bloody Nose," scheme.

For the engine, it currently has a scaled up car engine. I'm gonna attempt to recreate the whole engine (including steam generator), which will not be visible unless you move the camera into the train. No, I'm not having working doors like I did on my RDC. That would be too painful for me, putting in ~10 side doors in total.

Interior will be better than my previous GP9, I can confirm that. I haven't started it yet, but it'll be nice.

The GP9 will come in a multiple unit set, likely 3 engines, and a bunch of freight cars (possibly mixed). If you have suggestions, please say so. That being said, I have my doubts it'll be mobile friendly.

Weight is a WIP right now. I'm struggling to have the correct weight and the right amount of fuel.

By request of Thomasj041, I'm gonna make a Burlington Northern GP38 out of it when I have the time to. It will have center high beam cars with wood pallets.

uhm yeah, that's all for now I guess. +1 cookie if you read it all
