Conversely, the transfer table is in, so the shot is no older than 2003. Date: 11/07/12 16:41 Re: A shiny pair Author: wingomann Evan_Werkema Wrote:

They donated that to the PLA in 2006 so it was before that. Date: 11/07/12 23:56 Re: A shiny pair Author: Fizzboy7 Interesting was SP's light removal practices in the beginning of the program. Some units in for work or new paint got reduced while others did not.
Also a rare find, the two unrebuilt SD45's in kodachrome. (hint hint). Nice shot! Date: 11/08/12 10:39 Re: A shiny pair Author: dieselman Thank you all for the kind comments,i'll look for some SD45's in SPSF colors.
