Southern Pacific 9010
 Our Want List

1.  Southern Pacific electrical diagrams.  We have diagrams published by Krauss Maffei in Volume 4 of the service manual but they are extremely basic.  We have no reference for the myriad of terminal boards within the cab but know that they had to be documented somewhere.   SP produced their own high quality drawings and we hope that some still exist.  Copies would be fine.

2.  Hartman and Braun temperature gauges.  The locomotive had 10 of them, all alike.   They measure about 3 1/8" diameter at the body and read from 32 to 260 degrees F.

3.  Barco repeating speedometer.  This is an electrical driven speedometer having a body diameter of about 3 1/8" in diameter with a white face, reading from 0 to 85 mph.


4.  Equipment Trust Plate.  The KM series units came with "Series No. 24" (9003-9009) and "Series No. 25" (9010 - 9017).  We are looking for a pair of series No. 25 plates.  As delivered, these plates were located on the access panels just behind the rear jacking pads.  Of course we would be happy to display originals but we also have the ability to copy-cast without damage to the master.  If we copy-cast your plate, only the text and plate dimensions are critical here - - we can fix the number series in a sub-master pattern.  The plate is a casting with dimensions of 22" by 7 13/16.


5.  Battery Charging Receptacles.  There are two Battery Charging Receptacles; one on the Fireman's side just above the front of the fuel tank and one on the Engineer's side below the R2 sandbox.

6.  There is one Standby Receptacle for 110V power to the cooling water preheater, just below the L3 sandbox on the Fireman's side.

7.  Window Regulator.  The bottom windows on each cab side raise and lower with a crank handle, like a manual automobile window.  In fact, the regulator assembly is a part which may be from the heavy-duty automotive or commercial truck catalog:  KM also built buses.  We've found that the mechanism for a late Sixties Porsche 356 or early 911/912 is very similar, but we are looking for an identical part if possible.

We need the mirror image of this Fireman's side piece, for the one that is missing on the Engineer's side window.   The part is shown from the inner side facing into the cab, with the mechanism in the fully-lowered position.

Mounting bracket bolt holes are spaced 9-3/32" by 2-3/16", the buttons on the setting channel guide (the window glass carrier) are spaced 8-1/2" apart, and the total vertical travel of the window assembly is approximately 20".
