What frame did EMD use for the NW5s? Was it the GP9's, GP7s, or something else?
If I understand correctly, the long hood was identical to a NW2, was the short hood unique, or was it also from another pre-existing design?
There is an article in Railmodel Journal that suggests using a GP35 frame, but that doesn't sound correct since they were from very different eras. The article also suggest using SW7 calfs for the body, I haven't checked yet to see if the are similar in design to the NW2s.

Thanks for any information on this.
