Sounds like a fun project!
Do you want the bad news or the worse news...
You'll have to do a lot of cutting and filling...
No dynamics.
and you'll probably only be able to use the 'way of the zephyrs' and
'everywhere west' from the decals.
The end stripes will be too short to properly wrap around the ends (not to
mention you only get one set for the switcher decals). The frame and hood
stripes will be too short also. If you can get about four sets of decals, you
should be OK. You may want to ignore the road number in the frame stripe,
because the switcher numbers won't work. Being so small you can get away with
it.
Here's some shots of GPs and SWs from the usual locations:

On ebay, somebody (not me or anyone I know) is selling copies of paint

Are you using the Kadee or AZL shell?

Hi everyone.
I just got offered some decals that normally would go on a SW-1, and I hope
they will fit on a GP-9. I know I will have to add a few things, but I am doing
some wishfull thinking that the stripes and the logos will not be too small.
I have a spare GP-9 shell, but, it has dynamic brakes. If I am lucky and the
decals fit, will this also mean I will be doing some serious cutting, filling
and sanding?
I will also have to figure out how to make a marslight housing.
Oh did I mention everything is in z scale???
Any ideas or suggestions? (Please no "yea go to G,HO,N,S,O,or TT scale")
