9021 isn't a C44-9W though (not to break your spirits). It is in fact a C44-8W, one of about 25 (I think) Dash 8s with 4,400 horsepower, good luck on your new hobby!!! You can always come to us railroaders and railfans for all your railroad (question) needs!!! [:D]

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

behind the door is a small room that has some of the air sander valves, the tool box...flag stick holder... fusee and torpedo box...that conpartment is only about 3 feet deep..if that..and thier is another door... that door goes into the cab... through that door... to your left is a cavity where the air brake computer hardware and some other electronics are housed... and the back of the engineers controll stand.... to your right..is the toilet compartment....between the 2 areas..thier is a set of steps that go to the opporating cab floor.. and the main cab area... where the controll desk, conductors desk..and seats for the cab are...
