On a separate note, and coincidentally am working on the last of three Reading paint jobs, here specifically a KTM SD45 which ironically had a stop dead bind in one of its two trucks which I was able (thanks to both Sarge and Jay) to disassemble and isolate to this split gear on the box closest to the motor. The split let the OD of the gear “wander out” and lock up against the (in the attached upper) portion of the cylindrical worm gear that held the set screw.

Regarding the GN SD45 models, here's a photographic slide of the prototype that sold on ebay -- the image shows a GN SD45 consisted with a BN SD45, a BN U30C, an A-B set of Northern Pacific F-units and a BN C425:

A nice selection, but they were a bit too far away. I kinda liked the babe hanging out the window. :wink:

Hmmm, I saw that, too! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :oops: :mrgreen:
Anyway, I have a KTM GN SD45 with the horns mounted near the middle of the long hood.
