[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tstage bangert1, So you would say that an early Alco S1 (built late '40/early '41) would have the sunny bright LED, instead of the golden-white? Tom [/quote] I looked at my Santa Fe Diesel book Vol I and the S1 when fairly new at least had a chrome reflector and a bulb. The ones I have pictures of were built in 1944 according to the book. This would have been fairly white so the Sunny Bight LED should be correct. Remember, depending on the era, many of the early diesels like the FT I mentioned before were upgraded to Sealed beam. It all depends on the era. I am not aware of the S1's being upgraded since they were yard engines, but they still would have been Sunny bright. The Golden whites really simulate the brass reflectors plates behind the bulb. Good modeling to you and I too am saved by the Grace of God.
