    Great work Tom, push the bar up a bit!!! Cool thing about SP, their stuff got real dirty and worn out. We still have a lot of old SP Freight here in Southern Oregon you get some great weathering ideas from them.

    That is how i like SP trains!!! WERY DIRRRTY!!! I just love that weathering! As soon as the sd40-2 comes i am going to rebuild it into a SD40T-2, cause it is nothing that says SP better than a dirty SD40T-2

    I grew up around a lot of SP stuff. I sometimes think that the bloody nose scheme with the dark gray was all about hiding the fact that they never washed their stuff.

    I miss the SP, dirt and all. I wonder if anyone is selling SP grime through the Walthers catalog.;)
