Large Scale GE 20-tonner - Tom Yorke, critter fancier extraordinaire, who is the publisher of the "Light & Industrial Railway Quarterly", with back issues available on a CD, is working up a GE 20-ton boxcab compatible with models in 1:22.5 and 1:20.3 scales While based on the GE 20 ton Box Cab built in 1939, a rather plain prototype, it follows the prototype closely in most areas, but will have revised window locations, an external radiator, and a roof overhang at the sides:

The kit, in resin with white metal details, is made to fit the AristoCraft Li’l Critter motor block, and will include most of the details including an internal combustion engine and generator, along with a seat, electrical cabinet, and instrument panel. The floor casting will be complete with textured details. Real see-through screen will be included for vents and the end beams will have no coupler openings so you can choose your own height.

Tom has posted photos of the model which he has kindly allowed me to reproduce here: (24 Nov 06)

Whooie! That's quite an oeuvre, hein? But what I don't quite understand is whether the engineer is driving or that big guy riding in back is.
