Auto Credit Based on FasterThanLight's Boston and Maine GP-9
The SD40-2 was introduced in January 1972 as part of EMD's Dash 2 series, competing against the GE U30C and the ALCO Century 630. Although higher-horsepower locomotives were available, including EMD's own SD45-2, the reliability and versatility of the 3,000-horsepower (2,200 kW) SD40-2 made it the best-selling model in EMD's history and the standard of the industry for several decades after its introduction. The SD40-2 was an improvement over the SD40, with modular electronic control systems similar to those of the experimental DDA40X.

Okay thanks!@FasterThanLight
@ACMECo1940 sure, I'll build that instead.
By the way, all my trains are mobile friendly, I work on an IPad mini.
I would like to see a mobile friendly LMS Stainer Class 5.@FasterThanLight
@ACMECo1940 How about a Standard Class 5-MT Locomotive?
@ACMECo1940 I've never attempted a steam engine, but it seems like a great idea, I'll look into it.
Could you make a steam engine? British, maybe?
Thanks for the upvot @TehDuck
