SD39's on my Northern Arizona
Author: Brakeman

I know that there are no high-hood SD39's, however, there is no Northern Arizona Railroad either!   I would just like everyone's opinion on having high-hood SD39's before I start painting.  Thanks.

Looks good!  What's is the paint scheme for your railroad?

Cheers,

I haven't decided yet.  Either the Utah Southern or the Arizona and California.  I think I might try green silver and yellow.  The silver will be where the white is on the AZ & CA's is.

An innovative idea that could have happened if the N&W or Southern had ever ordered SD39's.

 If the Northern Arizona was not an actual railroad, you can have whatever power you want !   That's the beauty of whatever you create !

Looks good to me!  If you put some steam generator details (or remnants) up on the short hood, you could play it off as an ex-Mexican unit.  They had a good handful of steam generator-equipped, high-hood EMD's that could've conceivably been sold to an Arizonan railroad.

I like it, fun prototyping. Could also argue that running long hood forward is safer, so set it up like that.

Great idea.  I think I will.

Speaking of fantasy high-hood units... Kinda makes me wonder what a high-hood snoot SD40-2 would look like with that super long 122" nose.

You're the one driving that freight train. You can do anything you want to do.  It's your railroad.

Snoot high hood SD45T-2 would be cool!

Yeah...it kinda makes me want to paint it black with white lettering.

I like it! Good looking unit. Will be neat to see what it looks like when you get it painted.
