The more recent Blue Box Athearn SD40-2s are very good - I have one powered and one dummy example in EMD lease livery. They've sorted most of the old growling noises out by using a one-piece driveshaft between the motor and each truck - the latest SD40T-2s (Blue Box) have the same system as do the RTR locos. <br /> <br />As far as renumbering is concerned, I believe there's a decal manufacturer that makes patches to cover original numbers before adding new number decals? Not sure of their name, but this would be the easiest route to enlarging your fleet. I need to find a stockist as I currently have a pair of EMD lease SD40-2s with the same running number...
