OK, I guess I didn’t see the other two earlier posts on the new Athearn SD40s in MoPac.
My question concerning the brake cylinder arrangements…
I have noticed that some units must have had truck change-outs done to them as there are at least a couple units with mixed up brake cylinder arrangements.
IF there is anyone here, that has an ear at Athearn, maybe it could/should be pointed out that some of the unit numbers they have chosen mostly DON’T match the brake cylinder arrangements they are offering or, maybe, that my observations are really just that, and are mostly relative to different points in the timelines of each unit?
I’m guessing Athearn’s choices are photographically documented somewhere…?
Just in case, I’m planning one ordering two units, one of each brake arrangement, and then do some side frame swapping to get the correct arrangements I need. ;~)
