----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Davis I want to add some minor details . . . . . . Where can I get a large frontal view of an SD60 . . . . . . . . . > > > > > > > > I had not exactly the same question, but a similar one when I decided to have a professional install DCC in an AM SD60 for me. Mine was AM's Norfolk Southern 6596 loco. One of his first questions was what kind of horn. Apparently Soundtraxx has different sound decoders for several different Nathan and Leslie horns, 3 chime and 5 chime. I got onto a diesel internet discussion group, not on Yahoo but similar, and posed my question. After a few speculative replies, someone said "Instead of guessing, look at pictures," and cited http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=93013 That picture (if you know your horns) resolved the question. It also shows a lot that AM might prefer you not see. There are some not-so-subtle differences between prototye and model. Maybe AM's version is based on a previous paint scheme. But it's a good shot of the front of this loco. I forwarded it to my DCC installer and he added the ditchlights too.
I also found a picture on Fallen Flags - http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/ns/ns6596asb.jpg Chances are the SD60 of your choice also has pictures on one or the other of these sites. If you're really into trains you ought to have those two sites book-marked , "Fallen Flags" - http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/ and "RR Picture Archives" - http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/ In the interest of "full disclosure," FWIW, I'm an AM dealer.
