Southwest Chief,

THANK YOU for posting the links to the sd40-2 pictures, they were exactly what I was looking for and will help me a great deal.  Oh and your sd40-2 model looks awesome!

I'm not sure how many are out there. 

But the link below, with pictures of BNSF 6821, was very useful for an SD40-2 swoosh Microsoft Train Sim relettering job I did a while back.  Be sure to look at all 3 pages of pictures...most of the "swoosh" pictures are on pages 2 and 3.

And here's a photo of the relettered version I did for MSTS:

I was wondering how many SD40-2s did BNSF repaint into their new swoosh paint scheme because I am finding it difficult to find pictures of them on the internet.  Well I have found two pictures but they are not that great for what I want to do with them.  Is the problem just me not looking hard enough or is it because only a handfull of SD40-2s were repainted.  The reason why I am looking for some pictures is because I want to replace the plastic grabirons on my Kato SD40-2 with metal ones and need some pictures so I know what color to paint them.  Any help will be appreciated.
