CN SD40-2W Cab Photos

[zman616]

Hello.

I am rebuilding the electronics inside Intermountain's CN SD40-2W locomotives and while I have the cab off of the model, I am also painting and detailing the inside of the cab.  I don't have any photos to go by.  Just wondering if anyone out there has colour photos of the inside of the cab on these locomotives so that I can see what colour everything was.

Or, if someone can tell me what the colours were for the walls, the floor, the seats, and the control stand, that would be a great help.

Thanks.

In the EMDs I’ve been in the walls and floor were usually a beige-y grey. The control stand black.
I think this is a nice detail job,  his paint is a little too brown for my eye.

So here's a question, I've noticed a lot of use of "perforated metal" cabs. Anyone know why they do that instead of just using solid sheet?

Thanks "lock4244"!

That video is perfect.  Shows me everything I want to know, and then some.

Thanks again.

@Ed Kapuscinski do you have a photo to explain what you mean?
