Hans, thanks for the update, and sorry that things aren't going as smoothly as you'd hoped. Just know that there are a lot of us out here *patiently* waiting because we know the attention to detail you are putting into these locos, and we know they are going to be fantastic when they finally do arrive. All that to say, don't get discouraged, Rome wasn't built in a day, etc.

We hope to have the first CAD drawings just after the Summer. Will share as soon as they become available. In the mean time we can reveal the most likely railroads to be included in the first run. And no surprise we have the usual suspects: UP, ATSF, BN, C&NW, MILW, Conrail, CP, CSX, BNSF, NS, CN (IC) and B&O Chessie. We are also considering L&N, SOO, WC, RI, FEC and Southern. The second run will include several smaller railroads and different paint scheme variations from the Class 1 railroads. Stay Healthy! Was reading the latest issue of Railfan & Railroad and there is an article on the Oneida and Western Railroad,(which was owned by Shamrock Coal Co.), and owned 8 SD40-2's that were built to Louisville & Nashville specs so those crews could run them over they're lines hauling coal. The locos were painted in a really nice two-tone green! They used they're own coal hoppers as well, in two train sets they owned. Attachments:

Did the PRR have SD40-2? I get mixed answers on internet

According to Wikipedia, the SD40-2 came out in 1972. PRR was merged into PC in 1968.

Promised we would update as things are starting to roll. Finally doing color coding and artwork corrections.
Looking forward to new engineering samples as well.
Will share some artworks once they are final. Probably in July

Done with the preliminary artwork corrections. Once we have the corrected artwork we will share images. ( Hopefully everyones favourite Railroad and Roadnumber shows up ) Artwork are for all SD40-2, SD40-2W and SD40T-2 locomotives So when are they due? First we need to test a new engineering sample. As artwork are OKed, we still have to color match a few locomotives Last, preproduction sample inspections and then we are good to go Hoping for early October arrival at this point |

Any apparent delay allows for budgetary concerns to find fruition elsewhere such as conceptualization and construction of (a) T-Trak-Z module(s). |
