Kato SD40-2 nose length questions

What length nose does Kato's "Early Production" SD40-2 have, 81" or 88"?  And . . . what length nose does their newer "mid production" SD40-2 have? 

Thanks,
Erik

81" for the early... the newer mids have 88".

Robb,

Thanks.  You wouldn't happen to know what nose lengths the MoPacs SD40-2s had?  I posted that question on the MoPac group but haven't had an answer.  I think the early (pre 1977) -2s had  81" noses but I'm not so sure about the later non-dynamic brake version (post 1977) and what the MoPac called their SD40-2c, the dynamic brake equipped later version.  These later versions appear to have an 88" nose, but I'm not sure.
