Jonathan:
Will the Norfolk and Western SD40-2 be spelled out like the photo posted or will it have the more popular NW paint scheme?
Also will the high hood SD40-2 have the correct early grills and the all weather windows as per the NW EMD specs. PS: The EMD specs says 40" wheels.
Thanks, George DiSanti - Home the the Tar Heels!

The EMD documentation I have seen so far is not clear. This operating manual states 40"
http://tcrc320.org/MEMBERS/SD40-2_Operator_Manual.pdf

This EMD maintenance instruction says that nominal wheel diameters are 40" and 42" and that 42" wheels were available on all HT-C trucks made since 1972. Unless you have road specific details, I wouldn't get too picky.
