Yep, though Athearn's DD40's prototype was never actually built in real life.  It's got a spartan cab similar to the DD35A, rather than the wide-nose comfort cab on the DDA40X.<br><br>The Athearn does have a very similar mechanism to that of the Spectrum all-wheel-drive DDA40X.  It came with a fat hood though, because when Athearn first came out with it, they didn't have a motor narrow enough to fit under a scale-width hood.<br><br>
