I have been reading a book on Rock Island in the early diesel era and that got me to thinking: it might be cool to model a GP7 or GP9 with a chop nose, which could survive into the modern day and be used for switching purposes. I looked around for a model and found a cheapie:

But before I take the plunge, does anyone know anything about Walthers Trainline GP9M locomotives, or about Walthers Trainline in general? I had a B40-8W that I bought about 10 years ago but was not too impressed with it. But I figure that if I buy this, I would add a ton of details it could look really nice. My main concern is how easy it would be to add DCC?
I did a little searching and found a Walthers Trainline GP9M that someone detailed, and it turned out fairly nice:
