    Is there a roster somewhere that details which ex-BN sd40-2's were patched to BNSF before repaint or disposition?

    Looking to patch some of the upcoming Kato's but want to be as sure as possible before I commit the funds.

    According to which both Kato units were retired in 1992... which means they never saw BNSF happen...

    The next question for George is: were there any differences between #'s 6770/6772 and those that did see BNSF: 6773 and beyond - delivered 5 months after 6772?

    Paging Mr. Doofus, Mr. Doofus to Trainboard, please. Mr Doofus.... :D :D :D

    And FWIW, I see 6773 and beyond do not seem to have had the white-face scheme. BN cognoscenti (among which I'm conspicuous by my absence :D ) will know more about this aspect.

    William, the very few nose brakewheel units that received Whiteface paint, according to my research:
    6726, 34, 36, 72, 7812. More brakewheel units received the regular BN scheme...

    Well, crud. I was hoping to put together a decent lashup. I'll just have to re-number in the same grouping.
