This locomotive was built as EMD SD7 demonstrator 991 and eventually sold to B&O as their 760. It was renumbered 1826 and made it to the CSX merger. The last history I have been able to find is it being in Huntington, WV in the mid - 1980s. Can anybody add anything

numberboards: on SD7's, the lights are centered, and on SD9's, they are off to one side. This distinction does not work with the four-axle versions, as both GP7's and GP9's had the lights off to one side.

The only differences I'm aware of is the the SD7 have the class light centered over the number board where the SD9 had them closer to the outside. And the SD7 has ladders on both sides of the nose where the SD9 only had a grab iron on the conductor's side, and that was only correct for just some SD9's. Ted Curphey Ontario, OR

I'm modeling a Burlington (Chinese red) EMD SD7 in HO scale. The loco will have Mars lights at both ends, where the light fixture is mounted so that it stands above the top of the locomotive roof line. Does anyone make a ready-made Mars light bracket for CB&Q early SDs that would
