Has anyone done or modded a SD40 or-2 with a four headlight configuration?

Hey Buzz
I haven't done an SD-40 but years ago I did add extra lights to a B-36.
It's very easy to do, just a little time consuming finding the lights you need if you don't want to make your own.
If you look at the .bin in the engine folder and look for models which have the headlights as children then just add them as a child to your own engine .bin.
I used Great Northerners SP style lights and gyralight when I was kitbashing a SP B-36.

The Rio Grande units have the 4 lights. The ones on Soldier Summit.

Buzz,

I can't say I've seen one in game in this arrangement (Soldier Summit may have one, but I suspect those are the SD40T-2's - could be wrong). is it possible one of those sets is setup as oscillating lights?
