Thanks guys.?
I pulled the all weather windows off because I was also surprise when I saw that picture. Since it¡¯s in blue that has to be after 1963. I have plenty of DRGW diesels those windows can go on.?

Update.? waiting on decals. Here is a couple pictures of the loco at work. I will do the window glazing after the decal top coat.? The all weather cab windows are Sharpie silver and will look aluminum after top coating. They are adhered via water base tacky glue. I will pull them back off to put glazing in them.?
The coupler pockets were formed from scrap styrene. Wipers are .012 brass wire. Hand rails are .025 wire. Eyelet rings are the same brass wire.? I will make head light lenses after top coating. No air hoses as I always break them off while switching.?
Can some one tell me if I need to make lift rings for the roof hatches??
