A few years back I got the idea to try and detail the Wathers Trainline GP9M into one of the GP9s the local SJVR uses, like the one in this picture.

Is there any company that would make a correct cab for this, my model has a single piece window and the prototype is a double window. How could I do the sill above the fuel tank. Would I just cut it into shape. The louvers are also wrong on the model compared to the prototype, how could I add another set of louvers and take one out, is it possible? My last question is as you can tell in the photo I went to town on it trying to remove the winterization hatch which isint on the prototype, is there a way I can patch that?
Also what is a good book to start to learn this stuff?
