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

Well because the market pretty much has been flooded with them, especially the 3 rail side. Weaver did a couple of runs B4 selling the tooling to MTH. MTH did them in PS2 and PS3 with 3/2 trucks. Omi did them in brass, kts from lws, clw and others. ATLAS O did the similar SD40. Lionel has also made both the SD40-2 and the SD40.

With 3rd rail trying to gather up reservations for a loco thats been done at $750-800 ea, I'm sure there are people out there thinking they can buy used and detail one up cheaper than the new one. This cuts into firm reservations.
