I have a Lionel SD80 that's 3 rail. I'm looking at the NWSL site and wondering which kit it needs for conversion. I'm guessing it should be the 42" size? Aren't most (all?) modern diesels 42"?? I see a 40" size also. Thanks for any help, Joe

Well I believe that geeps are 40", SD's 42" Dash 9's 42". I think the SD80's are 45" actually but I don't think NWSL has 45" available.
Conrail's SD80MACs were 45". Not sure about other RR's
Wow, I've never heard 45" mentioned before. Thanks
Pat and Chris are correct for Conrail, check out

I also seem to recall the SD90MAC using a 44" wheel size? But it seems like most at 42" now.

Joe, Have you looked up your particular engine on Wikipedia? There's a separate spec box on the page.
