Nice Paul!!!

I can't get enough of your GM&O SD40!BTW- Is that you at the controls?
I've been wondering who it was.

Thanks Rob...no, that's my oldest son..the EMT turned engineer (at lease here in this shot.) I'm an old goat..full aches and pains, and the ever present senior moment. Now that I have the truck worked out on this thing, I may try to squeeze a CB&Q SD40 with then oscilating nose light..if I get time..the color's almost right, the trucks are right for a "Q" version..we'll see.Paul Fowler

Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between an SD40 and an SD40X?

>Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between an SD40
>and an SD40X? I believe its the extra fans (4 for radiator or 2 for DB) and the winged radiators in the back. HP is up over 3000 also I believe. Perhasp others can elaborate.IIRC, the SD40X was an experimental precursor to the SD50.GH2

GM&O 950 was ex-EMD X-434 demonstrator, built in 1964. GM&O only had one, this one.It is a 3000 HP locomotive, virtually a GP40 on an SD35 frame. This coming from a GM&O Master Mechanic I knew back in those days.Paul Fowler

Excellent work there!! Here is a shot from the fallen flags site of an SD40X...They look like SD45's, but ride on an SD35 frame, as said above. >Mike Forster<

Yepper..there were obviously more than one version of the SD40X..that looks like a dash 2..a version made after the GM&O 950.The GM&O 950 did not have a flaired long hood.Edit: Here's a URL to a photo of the 950.I think it's on Jim Duncan's website.Paul Fowler

Good job, Paul! Thanks for the tidbit of information. I thought all SD-40X's had flared radiators like the '45's, but there you go. Learn something every day. You do make nice engines. cheers,

Hi Paul, and welcome home Kelley. Of course you know I'm in "Pig Heaven" with all of these IC/GM&O goodies. Might we see one of the rare SD28's in the future ??? Ron K of RockfordP.S. Still looking for that issue of 2200South, course I'm so organized !
