[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by fuzzybroken</i> <br />:About the only limitation would be the Flexicoil vs. HTC truck, as well as truck/wheelbase spacing. Then again, if you can live with the differences (if any), then you're good to go![/quote]The frame is the same. The T2 is 8" longer over the coupler faces, probably because of the anticlimber, and I think I can live with a truck spacing difference of 5". As for the trucks, the Athearn SD45 has the right sideframes, so that can be corrected fairly easily. <br /> <br />And while the SP's SDP45's had been retired by my timeframe (1995-1998), there were 6 MK rebuilds of EL/CR units, listed as SD40M-2's. These units were built as freight units, using the longer frame for a larger fuel tank, and they never had boilers. But they still retain the look of the SDP45. <br /> <br />Hmm, that could be an interesting project. [(-D]
