Removed my foolishness that seems to bother everyone. Hope the SD40-2 is a hit.

Does anyone Actually Like SD-40 locomotives??? Have a safe Memorial Day weekend. Well, let me think a bit - I'm not positive, but I can think of at least one guy as long as it's BNSF. Hint! Hint! It's in this thread. And you have a safe one, too!

They have a front and back patio so you can bring your lounge chair and cocktail table (or beer cooler) to enjoy the sun and scenery when traveling around the south! I'll take a CSX #8888 along with the usual SP, UP, and DRGW please. BTW I do like SD40s! Like my avatar, the GP30, they have a unique profile which from a distance can be identified for what the are.

You know, I thought I made the thread title sufficiently clear that anyone could make good decisions--such as ignoring the thread outright, or reading it and simply moving on--versus being rude. I guess I was wrong.

Mærsk please! Matching Maxi-I's are waiting! Z scale SD40-2 range will not be complete without it! Actually, it is a shame that Mærsk SD40-2 still does not exist in our scale, while it presented everywhere else - in H0, N and even in Lego! It is a pity that MTL refused to add Mærsk variant to their SD40-2 2nd run, so there is a chance to fix this mistake now! Greetings, Alex

Wiki: "the reliability and versatility of the 3,000-horsepower (2,200 kW) SD40-2 made it one of the best-selling models in EMD's history, edged only by the GP9, and the standard of the industry for several decades after its introduction."

I for one would love to see the upcoming SD40-2 in CP Rail action red with a full sized Multimark. Both the 5863 and 5911, up until 2017 and 2015 respectively ended up being the last two units to retain their original large Multimark paint scheme. Working through the small Multimark, no-Multimark, Dual-Flags, CP Beaver 1 and plain CP paint scheme eras. I'd be happy with any multi mark, but happiest with the full sized ones. 5863 - www.cprdieselroster.com/Roster%20Archive/CP%205800/CP%205863.htm5911 - www.cprdieselroster.com/Roster%20Archive/CP%205900/CP%205911.htmInformation on the variants on CP Rail's Action Red Paint Scheme Variants - www.trainweb.org/galt-stn/cproster/paint.htmCP Rail (1968) "Action Red" variations: A5L Action Red, 5" nose/cab front stripes, large Multimark. This was the first "CP Rail" paint scheme. The last unit delivered in this scheme was SD40-2 #5717 in 1975. A5M Action Red, 5" nose/cab front stripes, small Multimark. This version was applied only to GM hood units. Units so painted had a red area above the height of the Multimark on the rear of the long hood. A5Mc Action Red, 5" nose/cab stripes, Multimark on cab (end cab switchers only). In all likelihood, all switchers with 5" stripes had Multimark on the cab and road numbers on the hood. A8Lf Action Red, 8" nose stripes, large Multimark, white frame stripe. SD40-2 #5700 was the prototype unit (1975) in this scheme followed by SD40-2's #5718-5777. A8L Action Red, 8" nose stripes, large Multimark. 1977-78 deliveries came in this scheme including SD40-2's 5837-64, 5778-99, 5900-14.A8M Action Red, 8" nose stripes, small Multimark. After 1979 and beginning with SD40-2 #5915, the white frame stripe was dropped. A8Mc Action Red, 8" nose stripes, Multimark on cab (endcab switchers only). A8Mh Action Red, 8" nose stripes, Multimark on hood immediately in front of the cab (endcab switchers only). A8NM Action Red, 8" nose stripes, no Multimark. SD40 #5513 was one of the first to appear in this scheme in late 1987. The only new deliveries in this scheme were SD40-2F’s #9000-9024.
