Could someone possibly make a UP AC4400 reskin pack?

We probably need an AC4400 first?

I'm not talking about the Searchlight AC4400. I'm talking about just possibly making one out of the BNSF Dash 9.

What’s the point then?

They both look the same, why not?

Soooo... if they look the same to you, why not ask for a repaint of a UP Dash 9?

Making it a Dash 9 renders the "AC44" part pointless. Just wait until our friends at Searchlight put the finishing touches on their model.

A Dash 9 and AC44 do not look the same. AC44s have the ac vents on the right hand side under the cab window and a huge box on the left hand side (double the size of that on a Dash 8/9). It’s bigger cause it’s got more in it.
A little research is very useful, it’s educational and it’s humbling ( it tells you how much there is to learn).

To put this all to rest. Yes UP had dash 9's too and I personally don't pay attention to whether a dash 9 is a 40cw, 44cw, or ac44cw. It's all a GEVO anyway to me but I digress.
http://railworksamerica.com/download-li ... e-repaintsGranted it's not the best in the world at this point and isn't entirely accurate but if someone wants to do better go for it. I'm terrible at this kind of thing.

But GEVOs are even more different from the Dash 9 series..
Not even rivet counting, but the long hood is completely different.
