Its all union pacific skins.

The only thing about this unit that i dont like is that the unit cant be run as a DPU because of the scripting.

You won't find a real GP40-2 capable of DPU, either.

I remember having read somewhere in some magazine article long ago that SP had a handful of GP40-2s setup with Locotrol as both receiver and masters, the only equipped in this way given the number of GP40-2s built. Not sure where they would be used though, perhaps some of the tight radius lines out West or perhaps branch-lines that were still putting out decent tonnage for SP that SD's couldn't go. Nice work on these units, looking forward to using them.

Ah, that would be the GP40Xs if I recall correctly.
