Yeah I would use the Seaboard System U36B as a base.

If you're starting with the Seaboard U36B as a base, you're pretty close with the exception of the trucks. As I recall, there were minor exterior differences between a U33 and a U36.


Yeah other than some slight phase differences, I think they're identical.
