Hi all,
Were winterisation hatches ever fitted on SD40's if so are there any pics of them as i have a body with damage to the rear centre fan on a new body, ths would save me buying a new body if they were fitted.
Many thanks in advanced.
Soo Line used them:

Unforturnately, the winterization hatch won't help you if your center fan is damaged, since the hatch covered the forward fan.

Hi
Many thanks for the pictures good reference
Looks like a new body then as it is #4089 U.P.
If it's just the fan that's damaged you can buy just the fan. If you check Walthers web site you will see them. Cannon, Detail Associates, Details West and probably others make them. Prototype locos are sometimes fitted with different looking fans, same diameter but slightly different shape. [Taller etc.]
