Are these locos going to just be another run of their old SD40-2’s? I have 2 of them now both newer ones with the plastic handrails and one is nice and quiet the other makes a ton of noise that a diesel should not make. It still runs smooth and powerful but just noisy. I am looking to get some in NS and undec to paint in South Massey paint. Here is a pic of my paint on an SD40-2.

I found the image on a train picture website as a UP engine then just changed the paint to match what I am planning.

sigh

As I do love the SD40-2 what is up with no one making much of anything for NS? I know that Atlas just released some but no one else is making any NS locos. Just have to keep waiting I guess.

That’s good that they’re coming out ealy but i can’t affoard them that soon. I might be able to get 1 right away but the other would have to wait.

All of which if I get any will be repainted to IC’s Death Star scheme.
