SD48

  • I was reading some old posts on another forum about if you de-turboed a SD60 to make an SD58 like they are doing with SD40-2s to make ersatz SD38-2s for yard service.

    So I found a drawing of a SD50 and converted it to my version of a SD48, since the SD50 and SD60 look almost identical.

    I removed the dynamic brakes, 1 cooling fan, put in paper air filters (I think that is what it is) and put on new exhaust stacks.

  • interesting. yeah Mike does some pretty neat work with his drawings. i made an SD65M too.

    it has a phase 1 SD60M body with alterations on the front. the windows have been reshaped and reduced to 2 rather than 3. the number boards and headlights were raised to the top of the cab. also, it has SD70M radiators (flared). at some point, i may also give it HTCR trucks.
