Here is a picture of a Southern SD40-2 I detailed up and a buddy weathered for me. I added MU hoses, Speed Recorder, Cut Levers, another Firecracker Antenna, and wind deflectors.  20181021_174544_wm by Matthew Fisher, on Flickr |

Matt,
What do you think of the horns Athearn used?
I bought 3205 when these came out. I think the horns are oversized, so I bought some replacement horns, can't remember if I got CalScale or OMI horns for replacements though.
I added a decoder to mine, and have run it once, but haven't yet done any detailing to it.
Regards,
Brian

Brian,
The Airhorns are just a tad big, but not enough for me to replace them.

Nothing looks better than the tuxedo scheme on a high hood SD40-2. I don't even model the Southern and i want a few of those.

Nice SD! I also have a Athearn Southern SD40-2. I kept the original oversized horns and chopped of the top two bells.
