Hello At Springfield this year I found P2K Blue Box Chessie System SD9 (actually 3 I think).  I sprung for 1 (regretting not grabbing the other 2).  In the parts bag are sunshades (prototype photos indicate B&O didnt choose this option), winterization hatch (installed on prototype), rock plow pilots, two bay windows (cant find any Chessie SD 9 with these), three small items circular in nature (steam generator details? prototype photos do not indicate existance), two side frame mounted re-railers (not installed on prototype from what I can see), and a piece of metal wire with a loop in it on one end and a 90 degree bend on the other (no idea what this is).  The detail parts chart says yes to steam generators and sunshades, but the only photos I have found doesnt seem to indicate that is the case on #1840.  #1839 has sunshades.  #1831-1838 all have dynamic brakes.  #1839 and 1840 do not. #1840 <a href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1463491">http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1463491</a> and in Chessie paint <a href="http://www.trainweb.org/chessiephotos/photos/SD9/1840cs-b&o.jpg">http://www.trainweb.org/chessiephotos/photos/SD9/1840cs-b&o.jpg</a> #1839 <a href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=831386">http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=831386</a> <a href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3179326">http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3179326</a> Best part:  Installation instructions!!  Can anyone point me to a top down photo of Chessie #1840?
