Talltim Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ah, bottom left of http://www.athearn.com/ProdInfo/Files/RTR_SD40_Parts.pdf Lots of spares I assume. Seems silly numbering them on the sprue but not the instructions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Stewart Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Correct John, UK sourced. And by chance is the latest acquisition also slated to have some duct work added to the top of the long hood, a box around the fan and a repaint into red and white? Or is it staying D&H?

Or is it staying D&H? Colin This one will stay D&H (it is a nice livery after all ) but most likely in modern "Heritage" style, actually carrying the name of my fictional Short Line, the Portway Terminal, as per my new layout Portway Center which is supposed to be set in recent years....

Talltim Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm betting it was something like this I'm pretty certain the locos were blue and silver, but athearn seems to have used white. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock_2007 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hum I'm not sure, I have a video about Detroit Edison and both the SD and GE locos do look blue and white. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tim, Correct - even picked the same video up! There is a written comment on one of the yahoo groups for Guilford that says Silver and Blue as the colours - all Guilford did was stick the Big G logo on them. Thanks edit - found the quote - not on Yahoo though 'they were delivered painted in EMDs demonstrator scheme of metallic blue and silver' Quoted from railroadfan.com - can't get the links to work as I'm not a member of it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/john_leopard/4760269966/ More if needed!
