Hi Dan, Yeh I'll see what I can do on the photo. It is from the DPL and has "do not copy" on the back. I don't have a scanner, but maybe we can connect at the rr real soon. I almost came over yesterday, but chose a really long grade hike (std. ga.) over here instead. Now I wish I had been there to be in on moving 20. I intend to be at the rr next Sunday in case you are over. FYI on the photo #1 has no lettering on the cab or tender. There may have been lettering on the tender that is scaped up and covered by mud/dirt. The 072 has lettering that you may want to see.
Great news on the lights!
I agree that the NML7 is OLC 107. I think to most people and by far the amount of historical accounts of it's operation (like the story of the engineer and fireman wrestling in the cab while the train was derailing behind them) make it's history as an OLC engine the most significant part of it's operational life.
