Here are a few pictures. Even the short run of Santa Fe 8022's have variations. Here is a pixs of one of my 8022 with filled in number boards. I would say this is the very first run of this engine and Lionel used left over unstamped postwar C&O 2024 body molds. Later in 1970 the opened the number board box to add separate number boards. A sample of open boards can be seen with the CN 8025 loco. the ones Dominick is looking for look the same except the number. Also shown is a replacement l;ens for the 8030 IC GP9 of 1970.
