It's ok Mike, you don't need to agree, I know how you feel from the last time we had this discussion. :)
Do more with less better is applied to everything I do, (regarding work, at home and paintings I freestyle, just take a look at the Cardboard Optimus I made :) ) which means I am always striving and looking to improve without over engineering where I feel it is not needed.

Our hobby is wide and varied and there is no right and wrong as long as people are enjoying our entertainment.

I forgot one feature of rebuild CSX GP38 and SD40 locomotives: the orange rotary beacon and warning siren that VRC have implemented.

Here is a 2015 photo with the control stand of a 1970 built SD40-2: Notice the separate traction/dynamic brake controller, but most importantly the reverser handle removed on a trailing unit.
I assume the brake handle could also be removed in the "handle off" position.
The big round knob is some kind of slow speed control?

The brake handle does not come off in the handle off position.
The big round knob should be hump speed control, i can't tell in that picture for sure though.

Yes it does. It takes a bit of wriggling, but on a 26L the handle can be removed in Continuous Service/Handle Off.
That's why it's called that.

Textures in place of polys, some good stuff for nice detail.

IMO, the example model he had doesn't look that good with normals.

The tools are there, the water is over there.
