If you are going to build a C41, you might as well build a replica from the ground up. It doesn't make sense to me to rip apart a K-37 and build an SG locomotive from it, especially if all you get out of it is a worn out boiler. I think it would be better to focus on restoring/repairing/preserving what we've already got before we do something like that.
