This is not the new Bowser SD40-2, but an excellent kitbash of an Athearn unit by my good friend Manny Jacob. I hope the new units look this good! |
I reported earlier that Bowser was planning to come out with a new Canadian locomotive. Today they announced what it will be: The SD40-2, in several Canadian variants.
All I can say is: Wow!
I also noted earlier that this is a great time to be a Canadian model railroader. With the recent announcements by Athearn of their CN GP38-2, InterMountain planning to bring out SD40-2s in all its phases, and now Bowser planning to do the same unit--not to mention all the great stuff from Rapido and True Line Trains--it's a really great time to be a Canadian model railroader.
Oh? And Intermountain has announced SD40-2's as well, but these will presumably be the US version.
