My question would be exactly what color these engines would have. I’d hope it would be the new, clean, fairly dark Jenks blue.

And further to the winterization hatches, lots of the geeps without winterization hatch showed up in Kansas, at all times of the year. Basically, although engines were bought with good intentions, after they’d been on the property for a few years, Katy bar the door. Sorry, railroad related pun.

The engines that were bought with dual control stands so that they could be used on branches and make it possible to scrap the turntables, same thing. They showed up randomly. But even by 1970 I don’t remember seeing single units being sent out as road power.

I need to look closely at the four-digit ones to see if I can backdate them. The spark arrestors, which are on all four, may be an issue. But I don’t want perfect to be the enemy of the good.
