Very nice job. I love the Utah Railway and that color scheme. Love it! Thank you Anthony. This model began as an undec. Athearn SD-40 straight out of the box. I decided to use the Athearn cab and battery boxes, but I decided to change out the long hood end and all of the fans using Cannon parts. A lot of modelers are down on the old RPP shells that Athearn reworked, but locomotives like this one make very nice layout models that will eventually see a lot of operating time. |

Nice work...........What did you use for the recorder cables? The speed recorders are made by Details West, part # 284. |

Looks great to me. The Athearn SD-40s are the only game in town unless you include the IHC version.  |

For the DA ones you can use 0.010" brass wire for the cable, or if you have any of the lights that Athearn puts in its engines you can use a piece of it as the cable.
