    custom built for Alex. O.K., that's enough for him for the month, some others will get their orders soon...
    This big kitbash is based on MTL's SD40-2. The SD44R is basically a standard SD45 with the 20 cylinder prime mover replaced by a 16 cylinder. All SD45 typical features like the flared radiators are maintained.
    the model:
    - chassis shorten
    - shell stretched
    - walkway and railings modified
    - flared radiators
    - spacing of the 3 most rear fans changed (further apart)
    - SP light package
    - trucks modified
    - standard detailing
    - "Daylight" style test paint scheme incl. decals and minimal wear
