Any plans on doing a non dynamic brake version? Originally being from Southwestern Ohio, I'd love to see some DT&I's come out.

Will they fit the older GP38's??

Plow: It is attached to the pilot and the pilot should fit older GP38s. Some adjustments may have to be done.
Dynamic Brake: No we do not have any plans. We would have to make a brand new shell for that. Remember that the shell is actually the ancient RLW GP38-2.

Very interresting!!

3 questions:

-Is this pilot/coupler/snowplow going to be available as a spare part in order to fit existing GP38s?
-Is the coupler operative (and not dummy such as what is mounted on GP30 spare pilot)?
-Is it glued, or screwed to pilot (ie may be swapped with MTL's, such as old timer SD70s)?

Thanks for the BN PS2-CD's. The BN cars with that 3-bar scheme are among my favorite freight cars of all time. The models look great, right numbers for the right cars, etc. (would've been cool to have gray/silver roofwalks but I'll cope. ) I bought all six and may end up with a few more eventually.

Dom,

AZL already offers pilots and plows as spare parts. You can find them here:

www.azldirect.com/parts

The coupler is not operative. It is the same as the coupler of the GP30 spare pilot.

The design is very different from the first run AZL SD70s that used a coupler box. While the box that is used is essentially the same size, the box is now part of the truck.

The only plow/pilot I see on the AZL Direct website, is the GP7/9 set. Is this the same as the GP30/38??
