Atlas GP40 (Red box)

[gregw66]

I just received an Atlas GP40 red box in a trade. Unfortunately the shell is in poor shape. Someone tried to put some road specific details on and it did not go well. Also there appears to be glue all over the shell. The drive runs like a top so I'd like to salvage it. Can you buy complete shells from Atlas? I even need handrails because some are broken. Has anyone ever grafted an Athearn shell to the drive? I have a brand new Athearn GP40-2 shell I could put on if it's feasible.

Atlas lists three GP38s, and 3 GP40s that are decorated. Also, the Trainman GP38-2 and GP39-2 shells should fit that drive.

GP40 High Hood and GP40-2 Low Hood undec. shells are all you'll find.

GP40 Low Hood undec. shells may be available when the next run is released. (fingers crossed)
