[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by mykroft</i> <br /><br />While it says UP, it's not the Widecab (Unless there's a Bachmann hiding in your Athearn box). Athearn lettered and numbered it's DD40's for the UP DD40AX's, but never made a Widecab. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Exact !!! <br /> <br />Athearn - don´t ask for why - name this model DD-40. But it´s a DD35A. <br /> <br />The DD35 prototypes, #5653 and 5655, were two cabless DD35 mated with two GP35. Paint was red-white. <br />Only UP and SP ordered this cabless engines - The prototypes became UP# 72B and 73B - 25 more were built to UP and 3 for SP. <br /> <br />The DD35A cab series, UP #70 - #84, was delivered 8 month after the last DD35 in April 1965. <br /> <br />No more DD35A were ordered after the first, and so also last, order. All of this engines were scrapped. <br /> <br />Athearn offers the DD35 (DD-40) in many not real schemes, like Pennsylvania.
