GCFX SDP40 3093

[m636]

Here my sdp40 I have some years argo. My starting point is a kato sd40. I forwarded the shell front on the running board at is proper location and scratbuilt the rear end with a cannon roof stock, some doors and styrene








This engine have been sold on ebay some year argo because after I done this unit, the grey was to dark for my personal satisfaction. but i have the plan to redone this unit in the future

Could you use the rear of an Atlas SDP-35 shell?

[m636]

It was more easy for my to scrachbuilt it.
Today people can easy built a original SDP40 with and kato SD40 and SDP35 shell and running board for atlas.
Don't forget this unit have been rebuilt to dash 2 and all the rear have been modified by adding new steps shortened the rear hood

Wow that is a nice model!

Very good! I shot that unit running through on a CN freight last year (ironically with HLCX 6230 that someone made a model of on here). I believe it's the only one in the fleet based off an SDP40.

Very nice, there is so much on here now, it's easy to miss stuff. Nice touch being you added the rebuilt step on the rear. The 3093 is the only one of any SDPs in the FURX/GCFX fleet. It was on lease to CSX most of the time and dodged me every time. Great work!!
