CEFX SD40 #3192

A free-lanced unit, CEFX SD40 #3192 is an Athearn "RTR"  SD40 that was previously detailed and sent to me for painting and weathering.  It's nice to see that Athearn has put the former Rail Power Products shells to good use.
I believe this unit was intended to be an Espee or Santa Fe unit, as evidenced by the cab Details Associates A/C unit, Details West antenna stand and large plough.  The horn has been relocated with a custom stand.  A-Line wipers and Details Associates ditch lights add fidelity to this elegant lease unit.
Truck sand lines and a speed recorder were added, along with full gas tank details. The unit was painted with custom-mixed Tamiya Acrylic paints. Decals are by Heral King.  The weathering was achieved with chalks, eye shadows and dilute airbrush sprays.  Many thanks to Dave for allowing me to post this unit on my blog.
