[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rdganthracite [quote]QUOTE: [i] 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!!!! [/quote] Since when is 3000 Horsepower more powerful than 3000 Horsepower??????? [/quote] I think the SD40-2 indeed is longer than the SD-40 because it used the same frame as the SD45-2 - for economy reasons (standardization) I guess. Or is it only the tunnel motors? Probably pulls more, too, because of the improved electronics ("-2" meaning modular electronics, an improvement over the older models.) Regarding GE vs EMD vs steam vs..., I'll say nothing. I'm a railfan and a modeler and I love them all. [#offtopic] Btw. this post should be my 0-6-0!
