[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Texas Zepher Ok I'll buy that, but do you have any idea why aren't they listed in any of my Diesel Spotters Guides? [/quote] They could simply have focused on only the factory versions, either because they didn't go into all of the different variations of rebuilds out there, or because it's initial printing was done before these engines were prevalent. I have diesel spotter guides that do show some of the more popular rebuilds. In addition to the Paducah rebuilds, there are several other GP7/9 and SD7/9 rebuild programs whose external differences vary, from looking exactly like an original engine, to a simple chop-nose, to a different tank, handbrake, cab, intake, etc. And their names also vary (IE, a rebuilt GP7 could be a GP7, GP7m, GP10, GP11, GP12, GP16, GP18, etc.). ---jps
