I noticed this too and I think Jack has is who pointed this out. The VL big boy was modeled as built from the ALCO factory same with the JLC version. And from the factory the dynamo was put under the cab (I think engineers side can’t remember now) obviously that exposed it to a lot of road grime was was eventually set back up to on the boiler. I am no expert @Hot Water will know the full details but on the VL big boy there is the dynamo under the cab.
