GE Genesis P42DC diesel locomotive - real world 7939 inspired MOC

[Murdoch17]

This loco was originally from the 2010 CITY set 7939 - Cargo Train and first designed in red for my brother. (who ended up not building it in real life after all) I removed the rear cab and replaced it with a personnel door for access to the train and recolored it to yellow for use by me. I then looked back on what I made, and realized it actually resembled a real engine completely on accident!

It appears I made a General Electric 'Genesis' series loco, specifically a P42DC as those were the most common of the sub-types. The Genesis types weren't used by freight railroads - just passenger-only carriers like Amtrak or VIA - but this is my railroad and what I say goes! Here we see the front of the locomotive.

The rear side of the loco with the crew access door at the very back.

The cab front flips up to put a figure at the controls. (I removed the cab roof here to make taking the picture easier.)

Nice one @Murdoch17, sort of fusion of the old and the new.
