Oliver: <br />I have 17 SD40T-2s and the level of detail is not as good as we are dealing with now. They have cast on grab irons, and nubs of plastice for the lift rings. The side frames are correct, the hood is the correct width, but the molds are from the early 80s or late 70s. But by shaving off the grabs and putting on your own, they look pretty good. I have added the grills to the lower rear of the hood on several of my units, and plan on doing more. <br />I owould like to see them update the SD40T-2, but untill they do, there is just some MODELING work that you have to do to the unit. If you can find them, Buy them.
