Railroad Model Craftsman did an article on the DD40's back in the 1960's. I have that issue,and if anyone wants the article,I'd be glad to send you a scanned file of it. Contact me at the enclosed email in my profile.

climber23,

Athearn used a little "modeler's license" when they released their DD40. It was actually a DD35. SP had three booster units but no cab units. I have a picture or two of 9500. UP had several cab units and multiple boosters before they got the DD40AXs. The following link shows both a cab unit and a booster. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=71204

Remember, it's your railroad and who's to argue with the motive power your VP of Engineering selected for your railroad? Run what you like and don't listen to the nay-sayers.

There never was a "real" DD40, just UP's DDA40X.
