OK, Athearn just announced a new release of SD40s including MoPac with the large Eagles on the sides.
I’ve been studying photos of MoPac SD40s in the early scheme with the large Eagle on the side, and comparing them
to Athearn’s listed “options”.
Any one like to comment on these offerings, re: the brake cylinder arrangements listed??
It appears MoPac did some miss-match truck change-outs over the years on these units.
I’m having a hard time finding photos with the exact brake cylinder arrangements Athearn is offering.
I’m planning/hoping to get two units, one that’ll be kept as a MoPac unit, but…
the other unit is going to be transformed into a C&NW “Blue-Devil” :~)
Any help appreciated, TIA,
Dan Schmidt
