SD40-2s have always been headturners so I have to ask: would you post more pictures of your good looking engines? What is the size of your group's layout? From what you've shown it looks like it was a fun place to run trains.

Hi Eric,
It's hard to go wrong with lots of SD40-2's on a train. DPU is even better. I like what you've done!
