[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by kevinstheRRman</i> <br /><br />Look, If I may interjecy about Ge's and EMD's <br /> <br />Each compnay is their own, They build their own Products, and they believe they are the best, in the 50's the GM slogan Or EMd, excuse me was.. "Good Trains follow GM locomotives." <br /> <br />Perhaps tyhe point I am trying to make is that the fact that is has 6 Axels, a horn, and lights. Seems picture perfect to me doesn't it? <br /> <br />Oh and good news, pictures usually don't capture sound.. So the admirers of your picture won't be dumb-struck by the pitch of a GE. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Dear Kevin, <br />They won't be dumbstruck by the sound. They'll be dumbstruck by how horrible the picture is! (Except for the one that's going to win the Railfan and Railroad photo contest any day now). <br /> <br />Dear wabash1, <br />Actually, aside from the name and number of wheels the SD40 and SD40-2 have very little in common. The -2 is larger, more powerful, and more likely to be cited as an example of EMD locomotives!!!! <br /> <br />Saw an EMD E8, UP 2-8-2, Pacific Electric Red Cars, and a 2-6-2 undergoing boiler work today. Whoever can tell me what museum I went to today wins a prize! <br /> <br />See you around the forum, <br />Daniel
