If anyone is looking for some Kato mid-production SD40-2's, BLW has a limited supply.  Know a lot of you always like to get undecs.

Fits my era just fine.....  ;D

FWIW, I had an interesting exchange with Pete over the last two days.  He is waaaay behind on orders, but is slowly getting things back in order after his Mom passed away a few weeks ago.  Patience is the catch word if you order from him.

No

That figures

If it weren't for the ditchlights, I'd say they'd be a good starting part for something else that'd be near and dear to your heart...

Well, the CR 40-2s were from the "mid production" time period. Of course there's the truck issue, but aside from that, the only reasons I didn't start from one for my 6366 were the ditchlights (wrong for my era) and the fact that the kato models don't have rear numberboards.

I know Robb will (rightfully) point out some smaller differences between these units and the prototype, but I think they'd be close enough for me.
