Hi Dick
As an Englishman always asking questions about Nth American railroads, I quickly got into the habit of asking that brilliant Irishman G O'Ogle first! My search for 'emd sdl39 diesel loco drawings' threw up the drawing I posted above. I suspect it is a 'standard' EMD sales brochure drawing(?), tastefully updated!
I was involved with Gilmaur diesel kits a few years ago and we used drawings from the same source in our SW1500 kit. OK, OK, I'll come quietly officer, but we thought the dwgs would be unwanted/out of copyright(?) by the time we needed them!
Google threw up the usual range of images, one of which referenced this Flickr group:

Absolutely terrific selection. Don't know if you know, but way back Wisconsin Central's owner acquired other railroads including English, Welsh and Scottish Railways here in the UK. Great paint scheme for modelers, shame it's gone.
Although I've been modelling Nth Am rrs for 45 years, one of our O-scale manufacturers (Dapol) has announced a Class 66 made in Canada and the USA ... so I must get one in nearly Wisc Cen paint!!
