The nice thing about rrpicturearchives is that you can get a history of the loco -- see <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/Locopicture.aspx?id=146558">http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/Locopi ... ?id=146558</a><!-- m --> This says it's a former MP SD40-2 that had apparently been de-turboed, with a late style paper air filter box added. I think you're better off doing this from an Athearn SD40-2 and going with a UP ex-SP or CNW SD38-2 for the Kato unit.
And I'd love to see photos!! There are SD38-2s at West Colton, but they don't leave the hump -- they don't even get as far as Pepper Avenue. The bowl trimmers are SD40-2s.
