Hi,
I am looking for some Air Conditioners to mount on top of some SD40-2 units. Does anyone make these to add on as detail pieces? I will be looking for 6 of them. Any help would be appreciated.

Precision Scale Co. Inc. makes them in brass or plastic and should be correct for the SD40 era. The plastic one I have is part number 56135. Hope this helps. Paul
Thanks Stangerdude! I really appreciate that I had no idea this company existed. Great source for scale pieces! Do you have a picture of yours by chance?

Hi Jarrod, I do not know how to post pics to this site but If you look under completed items on that auction site that begins with an "E", you will see a pair of MTH Southern Pacific SD45T-2's that I sold. My seller name is the same as used here. I deleted all the pics from my computer but they are still in the completed auction. If you go to the pics of the roof details you will see the air conditioning unit as well as the roof beacon assembly that PSC sells. They make some great products. I believe the roof antenna is also made by them but the base was hand made. I also sold a pair of Santa Fe (BNSF) GP30's to AGHRMATT that he posted pics of on the forum. They also had the roof top a/c units. Hope this helps. Paul
In case it helps, here are pictures of the PSC part (plastic) on an Atlas GP35. P&D Hobby Shop is a good on-line source for PSC parts.
Atlas also sells a part for this type air conditioner. The Atlas part has a slightly lower profile. If you go looking for it, best check the GP60 parts diagram for a part number. It's oddly labeled on the Atlas parts list ("GP60 roof top part A or B" or something like that). That's the one visible in the third picture. I've used both and in the future will simply use the PSC part. If you have an MTH engine with one of those roof-top strobe beacons in the way, the PSC part is a better choice because you won't have to remove or grind down the strobe. The PSC part will simply cover it.
