Well this new CSX C40-8W from the Miami route might be the closest thing we've ever had to the Amtrak Dash 8. The reason I say we try the DTG Dash 8 instead of Ian's is because the DTG CSX model has headlights in the same location as the Amtrak units. I know DTG is notorious for making nearly unpaintable locomotives, but if someone is willing to give it a shot, I'll give you lots of Internet points

The biggest external differences I can point out are the numberboard locations, the window on the cab door, and possibly a difference in size in the porch.

Also the fact is a B32-8, only runs on 2 axles while C40s have three

Derp. Still the closest thing we have.

I thought we had a B40-8W from eyein12? That would be the closest thing to a B32-8W

It Ian could shorten the fuel tank and put the HEP parts under it. I have old 3DS max parts from when I made one for MSTS out of a B40-8W.
