The SD50 looks dope. Have you sent it to DTG yet, and is it possible for them to put in a twin pack with Soldier Summit?

Further highjacking this thread you do know that Great Northerner has a free SD7 or 9 or both out there?

[CSXK921]

yes but i was just thinking of say the SD-18/24's.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but the SD40 is similar to the SD40-2 in the fact that it uses the Same EMD 16-645E3 diesel, with the exception that it doesn't have any dash two electronics. Is the frame length different? anything else I missed?

The Trucks, Frame, and Electronics are different too.

The SD40 uses Flexicoil Trucks while a SD40-2 uses HTC trucks.

The SD40 has its own frame while the SD40-2 uses a SD45 frame.

[BigBoyMoon]

The SD40 uses an SD45 frame, the SD40-2 uses a lengthened frame and the SD45-2 uses the same frame as a SD40-2.
SD40/45 length: 65 ft 8 in
SD40/45-2 length 68 ft 10 in

Another Dumb question, What is the difference between the Flexcoil and the HTC trucks?
