I have never taken it apart, but it is not quite as detailed as the PSC, but the model is nicely done considering it is a Loco Workshop kit. The trucks are missing the breakshoes and the body detail is not as distinct as the PSC. Having seen the real beasts in service in the summer of 1978, I have a passion for this engine. The only loco workshop DD-40AX I have seen was at Caboose hobbies in Denver in 1983. Another member of a Lynbrook, N.Y. club I was in during the 80s had one in kit form. I'm not sure if you can still find any. I think somebody is interested in selling a painted PSC one on the other 2-rail forum. They are probably worth around $1500 painted and they do come up on ebay. The MTH DDs are readily available in 3-rail. I'm not sure if you can get one in 2-rail. These are not bad looking and you can fix them up in the pilot area if you like. These are not my biggest locomotives, for I have an MTH Great Northern W-2 electric and a 2-rail Sunset Jawn Henry.
