475 out of the shops at Strasburg

[NW Mailing List]

I don’t know how many were changed, if there was a program to change them all, or what.  They changed a lot of the   E-2s, and there is at least one photo in Thieme’s book of a changed M-2.  The K-1s were built with high headlights, and thank heaven they were changed.  I just wish they’d put visors on them . . .

So were ALL M's changed to that config or only 'some' ?  What percentage were changed in your estimation?
I've seen lots of photos of M's since it is one of my favorite engines, but only some have centered headlights.

  I remember several Ms with centered headlights in the mid 1950s including the 375, 382, 396, 405 429, 433 etc.

  So 475 might be odd, to you, but it’s not un-authentic.

  Unfortunately, they removed the top of smokebox headlight and put it in the center, removing its number plate.  They also took away its boiler tube pilot for a step pilot.  Its not the classic 475 anymore.
