Hey y'all,
Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if anybody could possibly create a CSX SD40-3. I for one would like to see one in train simulator because, well they are unique all by themselves. Not to mention that they look radically different from the legendary SD40-2.

That would be cool. I don't remember but I thought Searchlight Simulations is making one in the future. *!question!*

Think they will get another 30-40 years out of them?


From what I have read, by refurbishing the SD40-2 to SD40-3 specifications, CSX should get another 40 years of service. I'm not sure if they use an updated 645E3 or use a 710G. But either way, the mighty SD40 will be around for most of my lifetime.

If that is true, then it will be a very nice addition to train simulator.
