Last weekend, I saw some FM cab unit body shells at the local hobby shop. I 
can't remember who made them, but they appeared quite nice, and with some 
minor work, could probably fit an Athearn drive. However, FM cabs don't 
quite fit my era :(

I also remember reading MR's slamming of the IHC SD35. I totally agree with 
them. The engine ran fine, but the pilots and steps are much too high. Oh 
well...
