Anyone know of published drawings for the GP40P-2?

We have some new local power here in Springs that I saw today for the first time.  I didn't recognize the loco at first and then saw it marked as a GP40-2 but there were several things that didn't look right notably the length and the long hood end.  I checked it out when I got home and saw it's a GP40P-2.  I looked on the web and there's not too much about this engine besides how rare it is.

Best I could scare up... nice roster info, but the drawing may not exactly be what you're looking for:

And this:

I won't touch that site.  I'm not sure what that drawing is but it's not a GP40P-2.  It's listed as a GP40-2P, amybe that's another locomotive.

This is a good line drawing.

I only ever use thedieselshop.us for the technical information as that drawing is clearly nothing close to being a SD9043MAC.

Looked through the Kalmbach magazine index. Apparently no drawings have been published (yet). There is a model  available of this loco so all the articles are about superdetailing the Athearn product.

I saw Overland made a model, haven't come across anything about an Athean version.

Looks like there may have been plans in the December '86 RMC.  I'll have to keep my eyes open for that one.

Of course you'd ask for the one thing I have absolutely squat on
