Also manifestly not an expert, but in some cases the SD designation was replaced with SDL for the KSA market with, for example, the SD50 locomotive appearing as the SDL50 in the kingdom. Not sure about the dates, though. Gareth

Re the spelling ‘Dhahran’, I meant just where you’ve got ‘Dharhan’ in your captions. ‘Dhahran’ is the commonest spelling, I think. Confusing indeed. Personal names are the trickiest - especially Mohammed, which can be spelt in many ways. Maybe dozens. Gareth

Qasr Ibrahim Mosque, Hofuf, Eastern Province, KSA. Renovated since this was taken. Gareth

The phrasal verb ‘set up’ is misspelt as the noun form ‘setup’.
