Hi guys, was not sure to display this on this tread or in the EMD Dash-2 
this is an old Athearn BB project. It is not complicated or accurate on details as the models I do today, but she captures the SP spirits. In fact, it was my second SD40T-2 modeled about 20 or more years ago just after Athearn released the model. Remained unpainted many years since I enjoyed to see her "naked". Some fine details were added through the years not available when she was originally finished, for example some parts of Cannon & Co tank detail sets, the brake wheel, the A-Line windshield wippers, the Sergent coupler at the front and the Kadee 58 at the back. This is the model that will be coupled with the SD40T-2 displayed on the Dash-2 projects. The gray is Floquil is SP Lark Dark Gray and the Red is Model Masters Engine Red that matches perfectly with the Microscale bloody nose decal.
