    We are looking for photos of the only MP15Dc to get painted in Kodachrome #2700. Specifically the cab end appears to not be well documented. We are looking at doing them but are having a hard time documenting this side.

    Also better shots of the nose would be appreciated.

    I just checked Richard Percy's website; it has the same pictures. It states that SP2700 was painted into Kodachrome in 1987. Is that correct? Should that be 1978? When was that failed merger?

    Just for luck, here are some of mine. Off topic, I know, but I like them!

    I need to add some more Kodachromes to my RailImages album!

    1987 would be correct. SPSF was announced in late 1983, and died in 1987.

    John Barnhill has a couple of photos in his site Nor-Cal Espee Connection (ncespee.railfan.net)

    Thanks. We have those shots.
    I'm hoping to find some that haven't been posted on the web or some that may be on a persons personal site and may not show up in search engines due to how it was labeled.

    Got It

    We have a customer that came thru with a conclusive photo. This project should be a go soon. Reserves are open.
