Can any one tell we where a Winterization hatch is located,& if any WC SD45's had any? I'm currently building SD45 #6498 (the only SD45 with the stripes on the hood ends). Josh
Hi, First I think you may want to check out the following URL. There were more than one unit numbered 6498 . Let me know and will see if I can find more info. http://www.trainweb.org/wcnorthamerica/SD45_page_one.html
The original # is 6677, then 6498. According to WC's roster; which WAS on their website, but there site is gone now , it was known as 6498 at the end of WC's lone service. On the roster you provided (which I have looked at before) it is known as 7498. I have the decals, & shell, I'm ordering a chassis, handrails, & paint tonight, & the decals for the Operation Lifesaver Unit (that'll mean ordering another RPP SD45 shell & chassis!) Thanks!
