Looks really nice. However, I have one small suggestion:
The 'Burlington Northern' under the logo on the cab side is a bit too small. If you could enlarge it a bit that would be a perfect repaint.
Compare it to this SD40-2: http://archive.trainpix.com/BN/EMDORIG/SD40-2/6836.HTM
Not trying to be nitpicky or a rivet counter or anything. It's just that as a big BN fan that little detail would bother me.
heres what I had in mind :)

Thanks NS ....... Yes Remaster you are correct it is a tad small so i will enlarge it, I never did find the grabs but i was happy i found the edges to the stairs lol.
Heres a final pic of this one and i will enlarge the side B logo a tad and it will be on our dl page tonight with 2 others of diff numbering as a 3 pack.

This is whats holding the realease of these up.
The view from the cab needs to be a green nose. I have not figured out how to get it green yet.

Ok fixed the cab view nose to be green like it should be and these are final. I am sedning to beta and they will be at my site in a bit if any one wants them. Youll need the black sd40-2 for these to work most likely. This is a 3 pack

Thank you Cookie and if any one else wants to know how i got the cab nose to match the paint from the interior just hollar and ill help you cause i had a heck of a time finding how that worked lol.
Then after i got the nose to work the rails where they are white were yellow and that was another tuffy but i fingered it out .
