Canadian National SD 38-2

[mta224]

Hi crew-just wondering what it would take to turn a Kato Sd 38-2 into one of the CN 1650-1653 units,ex Northern Alberta.
I know about the headlights,classlights and snow shields;anything else major needs to change?
I've noticed some variation in the fans as well.....
Thanks,
Anthony
(And Have a Merry Christmas too.)

You seem to have covered most of the bases. Other than those, there are a few other major details.

-small fuel tank
-vertical stepwells and end handrails
-and of course the most important feature of any Canadian GMD-built locomotive, the over-hung bell.

I will be building the same engine. Kato SD38-2 is my plan as well, I got a genesis GP38-2W which I will harvest for parts, the short fuel tank the long hood as well as the front and rear decks with steps.
