80's photos of certain BN SD40-2s

I don't know if this goes here, but here goes:

Does anyone have any pictures of the 68XX SD40-2s in the early-mid 80's? Specifically 6801, 6802, and/or 6822? I have the Athearn RTR models but want to change the details to reflect them in the early to mid 80's.

I can't seem to find any pictures from that early-mid 80s online of them that show whether they kept their antenna array for locotrol.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

I don't think I have any but I'll check.   If you don't mind I'll post the question on the FOBNR Facebook page and see if anyone responds?

Sorry about the Tardy reply, been out of town.

I didn't know the FOBNR had a facebook page, that would be a big help. Thanks

The FOBNR Facebook page is www.facebook.com/fobnr .   I posted the question so hopefully somebody will have some photos or info.

Thanks. Thanks to the link posted already, there aren't photos of the specific ones in the 80s.

However I'm thinking I'll base it on sister units. the issue is that it seems like a case-by-case basis. Some lost the antennae and stands, some kept them, some lost the antennae but kept the stands. I'm thinking I'll leave them on as I'm trying to focus on 81-82, and based on the photos most seem to have them at the time.
