    Have a couple of these snoots that don't really fit with what I am running on the layout and got to wondering what else I could do with them. Wondering what other Kato or other loco shells including 3d printed might fit the chassis for this unit. Anyone have any ideas?

    Have you looked at the shells available from Baldylox on Etsy? :)

    According to Spookshow the snoots and the regular SD 40-2's share the same chassis.

    The early shell will also fit. Also, you can cut the nose down to 88" so its no longer a snoot.
