Matt, the Erie #19 and #20 are a nice couple. The changed cooler of #19 should be no problem. It is essential a half pipe replacing the 90° curve at the ends.

The stripes are great indeed and you are lucky if the match your time frame. The Erie units have the head light mounted on the roof. My roundhouse shells have the front lights in the front walls. You may need to get extra lights.
Did you run your new GE 44ton with a new decoder? How many openings have the bottom truck covers? They should have three for the modern drive.
I added the long grab irons located over the pilots. I hesitate add the six grab irons forming a ladder at each side. They would look awfully if they are not perfect aligned.
You should add two short grab irons over each pilot leaving a gap for the doors. Do you know a source to get better truck side frames?
