ELECTRO-MOTIVE SD40 (1966-1972) [Digital Train Model]

[MartinVelozo]

Hello friends. Around here again
New locomotive in progress by Digital Train Model
General Motors SD40 (Build date 1966-1972)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_SD40

I'm working on the last details to the 3D mesh.
Possibly with the colors of Southern Pacific or Santa Fe (Freightbonnet) We are deciding

[ColoradoRailfan]

Looks very nice!
What will be the paint schemes or rail lines of the locomotive that will be included?

[MartinVelozo]

Possibly SP

[bpetit]

man that's a sweet model so far

[JohnTrainHead]

I like SP....

...but there isn't enough Santa Fe stuff on Steam!

[BigBoyMoon]

I vote for SP
Widest variety of paint jobs available and in more varieties

[AdmiralLeviathan]

Consider my vote for Santa Fe

Although; why not both?

[BoostedFridge]

I would be happy with either! Maybe make the distinguishing items child objects to make the 'base' model fit as many roads as possible.

Nice, but do we really need it, another EMD? I for one am not tempted to buy this, when ALCo C420 and C630 units are still missing from the game for instance?

Please finish your SD45 range first; ATSF, SP, DRGW, PRR, CSX.

Then the SD45-2 would be a better follow up model that the SD40 as predecessor to SD40-2 mk II/III in my opinion.

Okay...
I was keeping my mouth shut until now... but... we have tons of SD40s already with sound and physics fixes, and reskins available. This kinda reminds me of the flood of SD70 variants.

The American diesels are pretty well covered these days, except for Alco and Baldwin Lima Hamilton products.
I'm surprised no one ever mentions Montreal Locomotive Works in Canada, which was a subdivision of Alco.

UP, SP, DRGW, SF and BN liveries would be perfect in my eyes!

AFAIK the BN Never had SD40's. They just had SD40-2's


E: After asking dad the BN did have SD40's. These were numbered in the low 6300's. I didn't as i have not seen a SD40.

Ah, but I am wrong anyway - DRGW didn't have them ...
