Down the road quite possibly a newer SD unit something that the prototype was produced for a lot of RRs think SD 38s/39s 40-2s, I believe the 6 axle diesels provide more engine for the dollar. JMO
True, however both Lionel and MTH have made TONS of such models, and it is thus very difficult to compete against such high volumes, no mater whether they did them correctly or not.

Bear in mind Sunset with their new drive system and more rd name specific detailing is selling to mainly the 2 rail market, I believe the FT diesels were mostly done in 2 rail and at 400-500 models probably 1/3 of a typical Atlas run of 4-5 road names and far less than MTH/Lionel runs this is their target market.just saying!
