That Burlington Northern GP-20 looks the same way as a GP-7 because of its high
hood.
Actually… the GP20 was a turbo-charged engine. The model in the photo does not have an exhaust setup for a turbocharger. The photo you’ve got there is of the Proto2000 _GP18_ not the GP20.
Models of a GP7, GP9, GP18 and GP20 were all produced by Proto2000. They’re all visually pretty similar, but each has it’s own subtly distinctive features.
