Ok, I am about to take on a major SD40-2 snoot chopnose superdetail project on 4 engines for a customer. He wants 2 in CSX Dark Future, and a pair in NS Whiteface. In my short searches, I cannot find a single SD40-2 low short hood unit with a whiteface scheme. Is there such a thing???
I can't say for sure that there isn't such a thing, but I have not seen any. I saw an ex-N&W low nosed SD40-2 today, still in the "old" NS scheme... My guess would be that there could be some soon and the likeliest candidates would be the ex-CR units. I think NS did just paint a SD60 & SD60M in the whiteface, along with one SD45-2. Harold
There is a Overland models ad on the back of the December, 2003 RMC. Engine no.3372. I have not seen one on the NS locally yet. Hope this helps,Dan
here is a link to one from railpictures.net it is a former conrail unit. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=54957 http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=55471
Thanks, Mitch! That is even a hi-headlite version! I was expecting something kinda like BN's whiteface variant.... But that works!!!
