I'm interested in all eras really. I don't know how many people fall into this camp, but I'm a fan of projects that have either never been done - or things with wide use that have never been done all that accurately - or we haven't seen in a very long time.
With over 4000 produced, and a model that started out almost 50 years ago now, I'm surprised the SD40-2s aren't more popular. I'm not into electric engines all that much, but any of the older Amtrak mainline diesels I'll probably reserve, though I'd prefer something that was in phase II or III to go with my Amfleet set. I would settle for Phase IV, but I'm not a fan of the Phase I paint. That said the from what I know (which is very little) the FP45 never wore any Amtrak paint scheme.

I don’t get that the SD40-2s aren’t more popular either. 😖
