Those SD40-2 snoots in Union Pacific sure look tempting. I own a short nosed UP SD40-2 early that I bought when they came out almost 2 years ago. It runs great and much more prototypical speed range than most of my other Kato diesels, but not quite as slow as my Atlas scale speed motor diesels. Also, it has traditional bolt and nut fasteners holding the frame halves together, not clips like my BN late SD40-2 with Kato ditch lights. As late as 2012, the real snoots were sometimes seen on the UP lines in Fort Worth TX area.
