Before continuing to build the SD40, something I wanted to do since a while: update the motors housings.
The first I made were very simplistic but operational: motor housing on the left and middle dummy housing on the right (flat top because the bolster is just above.
I thought it was better to re-do these parts and update them to look like (almost!) the real one, always thinking that I had to fit them to my model, even if these parts are not completely visible.
I found a few photos on the net and here is the result of my work; the dimensions are always the same but I changed the shape and added some details:
Without wheels and gears:
An exploded view to show you the differents parts:
The dummy housing has had the same updates but the top is always cut!
All these parts are now ready to be printed, for exemple this one:
I notice now on the drawing above that it lacks a 1mm hole at the bottom of the left part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it means that I have updated the drawings but not the . stl print file!!!!!!! 
we should have four eyes!!!
That's all for this evening!
