CSX GE Air Filter Screen

[wvsecondary]

Does anyone know of a source or had any experience fabricating a longer filter screen for a CSX C44-9W. It looks to be about twice the size of the one modeled on the Athearn loco.

Its the same length as a 8-40CW,as a matter of fact I would use the Atlas 8-40CW and it looks to me all that needs to be changed is the radiator compartment. Cut one from an Kato or Athearn ,swap it out and boom you got a CSX -9.

Unfortunately I am working on a Factory paint and chopping in a section won't be a very good answer. I was hoping for a part to add.

Hi buddy.....In reality, this is a mix or cross of two locos.....We have some here in Brazil....A Dash-8 body and trucks and a Dash-9 radiator and electronics....The better way to model it is the Atlas Dash-8 CW with Athearn Dash-9 (phase 1) radiator, ok?
