Broadway SW9 or SW7?

[KentBy]

I have been looking for locos for SP&S and found the Broadway has a SW7 #44 in that road name. Looking a the roster for SP&S I don't find any SW7, but they did have SW9's numbered 43, 44, 45.:cry:

How much difference is there between an SW7 and SW9.

I guess I could buy it anyway and pretend that SP&S swapped there #44 loco for an SW7.:twisted:

Looks like the difference is in the louvers: two sets each on six doors on the SW7, one set each on eight doors on the SW9. The handrails and fuel tank are probably options or aftermarket modifications, not model identifiers.

Thanks, Triplex

I haven't seen that site before. It is a great resource.
