Nice details on that MKT unit!
Will go good with the GP38's.

Great to see G M & O motive power.
SD40's and GP38's in that "marvelous" red and white striped livery would be welcomed as well.
The KTY SW is a nice addition too.
Keep up the great work AZL!

Oh, yeah! You'd have to remove the dynamic brakes from the GP38 shell though.
Wonder if AZL will ever produce a newer shell, both with and with dynamic brakes? Probably wouldn't be very cost effective though, price point would be way higher than it is now...

... Let the RED BIRDS Fly Ron / Hans, on the next run of GP30's this would be a nice surprise.

Regarding the GP38 / GP38-2 DB vs. Non - DB shells.
It would be nice if AZL offered an optional, removable "blank" to insert.
Athearn and Walthers offered this in various HO "undecorated" locomotives (GP38/GP40, GP15)
