There is an interesting article in the February issue of Railmodel 
Journal on kitbashing a HO scale phase 4 SD-9 from a combination of 
Proto2000 SD-9 and GP-9 Ph3 components. While the article focuses on 
building a DM&IR unit, it is also appropriate for building models of 
the CB&Q's last group (1959) of C&S #831-842 units. Some of the 
details will be different but the concept is good. The article 
suffers a little from mismatached photos and captions, but this is 
easily overlooked with a nice contribution to the hobby by the author 
Bob Rivard.

Ed Fulcomer's color book, Colorado & Southern, Southern Division has 
a wealth of photos of this series of SD-9s to help with the project. 
The Diesel Era magazine Vol 7, No 5 from Sept/Oct 1996 also gives 
some valuable details about the development of the various types of 
SD-9s.

For the slicers & dicers / kit bashers out there, would like to see 
photos of the results of CB&Q/C&S models of these units. Maybe some 
of these will show up at the BRHS meet in St Louis this year.
