Well, I'll make a stab with the yellow one in the nite shot...looks to be an MT-19. The fan is visible on the air cooled Onan engine. This model also has a 2 speed transmission as opposed to the belt drive of the earlier 2 stroke models that were so prevalent for years. Nice enclosed cab.
When I first got my M-19AA, it had the windshield with curved wrap around and a roof. I soon added the rear window which was a big help in the rain. Never put the curtains on though and I didn't really miss them. If I lived in an area where it was really wet, I'm sure that I would have tried to close it up some to stay dry. A lot of fun and good memories on a lot of rail no longer there.
