Snoot Nose SD40-2's in O scale

The SD40-2 is one of my favorite locomotives, model and prototype. Since I'm modeling primarily the early 90's, I would love to have a variety of -2's. Santa Fe had them in I believe three different nose lengths(81,88, and 123 inch), which if modeled, would add variety to a fleet.

 

I would buy several in at least four or five roads(BN,UP,SF, BNSF, Southern Railway).

 

I've owned several brass SD40-2's in O scale and S scale in Santa Fe and UP, but would really like to see a good plastic scale 2 rail model with the different nose lengths.

 

S scale OMI 123"nose

 

Short nose OMI 81or 88" nose?

 

Well what is stopping you from modifying a standard sd40-2?

Travis,

 

Very nice photos. I certainly would buy both the standard noses and the snoot nose versions of the ATSF SD40-2. My suggestion to you guys is to email Scott Mann of Sunset 3d Rail and tell him of your interest.
