Athearn SD45T-2 or SD40T-2

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I had hear this, wasn´t at Seattle - near 10.000 kilometers away !
So I´m not sure that this is true !!!

Athearn shows a SD45T-2 - No discussion - three doors below the radiator!

But they gave the information that the model will be a SD40T-2 !!!

The 40 is “better” for Athearn, one road more had SD40T-2 than SD45T-2: The D&RGW never had any SD45T-2.

ANYONE WITH BETTER INFORMATION ???

Athearn has an HO scale SD40T-2 in production, it has been around for two decades or so.

At Seattle, Athearn announced an HO scale SD45T-2. It is an beautiful model.
