C44-9W Union Pacific

[torikoos]

Hi all, I recently acquired a pair of Athearn blue box UP C44-9W locomotives. One dummy, one powered.
I bought these on e-bay and am planning to use them as a super detail project. I find the Athearn shell to be acceptable enough to use, but of course the detailing is not up to current standards.
What I'm looking for is a decent HO drawing of a UP C44-9W so that I can take measurements of it for the correct size and placement of grab irons, and many other details. Does anyone know where I can get one, or have one as a PDF file or similar?
Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure of any drawings, but as far as grabirons go, the BBs should have small nipples/dimples that are the 'tell-tales' for placement. Don't forget that there are also grabs on the AC unit on the conductor's side.

Hope this helps. I posted some pix of one I recently finished, next to your thread.
