Looks great. :) If I hadn't read the thread I'd never guess it started as a parts engine.
 
This thread has inspired me.

I have an older Athearn blue box GP7/9 high nose loco that's missing some parts, mostly handrails and stuff. I had almost consigned it to the scrap parts bin, maybe now I'll semi-finish it, weather the hell outta it and put it on a RIP/scrap track. It does have a working drivetrain/frame, maybe I can buy a useable dummy loco and swap the frames??

I've seen engines that are in the process of being scraped. one of the first things to go are the handrails, usually by torch. A dummy GP-7 chassis should be easy to come by, you could put a request on the HOyardsale yahoo group.
