Scale trains.
Re: ScaleTrains. Don't confuse the SD40-2 with the SD40. Scale trains doesn't make an SD40, only an SD40-2 .
Athearn didn't offer an SD40 in blue box, only and SD40-2. The Athearn SD40 was issued in RTR form after they acquired the Rail Power Products and eventually the molds we unusable and Athearn retooled the SD40 and has offered it again with an improved shell in the past 3 or so years.

I love the SD40 series. I have Athearn's SD40N and its one of my favorite locomotives I own. With that said, it is silly sometimes to think just how many companies produce models of the SD40. The good news is, it seems more and more companies are beginning to branch out and make more and more unique prototypes than just the bread and butter SD40 (Rapido's B36-7 the other day comes to mind). If making SD40's pays the bills and keeps the lights on, allowing manufactures to later on approach more unique locomotives its fine with me!
khierIs there a single manufacturer who did not release an SD-40 ?
I thought he means who DIDN'T sell anSD40. For what ever the OP's reason is?
Mike.
EDIT: No wait, just before that he ask how many different interpretations have released???

I have one of the GSB models. Nicely detailed aside from the thick handrails, and the chassis had the porential to be something great, but they kind of goofed in a few areas and went out of business not long after.
NittanyLionThere's some blurry lines, though. Rivarossi never marketed an SD40, but they made the AHM SD40.
It was actually Mehano that made the SD40 for AHM and later IHC. They still have all the tooling, but haven't used it for a while now.

Presumably, anyone that went out of business before or shortly after there were SD40s around did not! Or makers that focused on rolling stock. Exactrail, for instance, never made SD40s.

Hi All,
I do not mean number of models built or sold, I mean how many H0 interpretations have been released. Is there a single manufacturer who did not release an SD-40 ?Thanks
