EMD short hood lengths

[Catt]

Posted this to ATLAS now I'll bring my request to the right place. ;D

I am working on an idea to produce the different EMD short hood lengths and at this point the only sizes I know are correct is the 81" and the 88" that replaced it.

Does anybody have info to share or a weblink they know of that would have this info?Plans are if this works to do Z first followed by N .They would be made by Shapeways.

Said hoods would be produced with or without headlights.

I assume you mean EMD 2nd generation:

Yep, those are the two standard sizes. Other variants were the long "snoot" noses like UP had on some engines.

Canadian Pacific's SD40-2s has 102" noses.

There were two snoot variations, the 102 and a 110", I believe.

I thought the UPs were something like 116" or 120", but that's not really my area of expertise.

The 102" nose on CP's units wasn't really considered "snoots".
