If you are really feeling ambitious, you can splice an EA (with the "beauty" treatment) or an EA-B unit between two E units. Per Mike Spoor's CB&Q in Color Vol 1: "After the arrival of the E-7s and E-8s in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the EA-Bs were normally found spliced between two of the larger EMD locomotives. Beginning in 1953, "Diesel Passenger Power Pool #3" called for two 2,250 hp E-8As and one 1200 hp EA-B to be assigned to the EMPIRE BUILDER." Maybe move up your era a little?
