Surfing the web I ran across a picture of a black cp rail sd40-2. After doing more research I found that this was a ex Norfolk Southern sd sold to cp rail for b-unit power. As soon as I saw it I had build it in HO. I started with an Athearn blue box sd40-2. 
Next I cut out the short hood and number boards and stripped the paint with 91% alcohol.
Then I added th high short hood
Eventually I filled in the pilots, added snow plows on each end, added a bell, replaced cooling fans, added mu hoses and airline, air tanks, grab irons, and many other details. Most of the detail parts came from atlas. It was re powered by a newer athearn motor and a DCC decoder.I did not take any more pictures until it was done. Here is the finished model.
