QUOTE: Originally posted by NightCrawler I have gotten caught in a quagmire this month, I decided to build a lease fleet of SD40-2's instead of finally get my SD45T-2's done. the locomotives I have decided on so far are: EMD lease ex MILW ex SOO SD40-2 still in SOO red and white, EMD lease Ex MILW ex soo SD40-2 still in MILW colors, EMD lease blue SD40-2 (Ex MILW), 2 GATX (GSCX) ex MILW SD40-2's, and an ex UP GATX SD40-2 (non dynamic, still in UP colors with red GATX lettering) I have found out that the ex UP unit only lasted maybe a year in this paint scheme in the early 1990's, but it looks pretty cool. what I have is another Kato Union Pacific SD40-2 (early with ratchet brake) with the lettering removed and I want to make another lease unit that would have been around in the 1990's. were there any other lease units around that time in UP colors? if not, I can always strip the rest of the paint and do something else. I just need something different. any help would be greatly appreciated.
