Reply to ""Right sized 44-tonner""

From "The Model Railroader's Guide to Diesel Locomotives: "Phase I models (through Oct '42) had side radiator louvers and a single set of steps on each side. On Phase II models (through May '43) the louvers moved to the ends,  with corner ladders added. Phase III (through June '45) versions have multi-panel access doors on the hoods. Phase IV (through Sept '51) engines have small rectangular air intakes at the top of each hood side. Phase V models (through '56) have ridges in the hood doors and a rectangular headlight instead of round. Going by this, the pre-production model is at least a phase II.
