Working on a pair of DDA40Xs right now in N. Be aware that this is a "fat" body and you will be disappointed in it as a start. Try ordering one of the high nose shells 9GP38 or SD35) from Atlas for the EL standard shaped steam heater area. For the boxy end SP SDP45 units building the square shape from styrene may be easier than using a loco shell.

In HO if you are using a fat shell SD45 the SDP40 will provide a much easier starting point for the flat end SP units. For a tapered shell in the fat shell line finding a GP35 shell to sand down. If you need the tapered end like the EL SDP45 and are using a scale width hood from Rail Power or other manufacturer a canon high short hood kit should fill the rear section perfectly.
