(SimpleTrains) 1983 EMD SD40-2 Conrail Livery

Wikipedia:
The EMD SD40-2 is a 3,000-horsepower (2,200 kW) C-C diesel-electric locomotive built by EMD from 1972 to 1989.
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 one of the best-selling models in EMD's history, edged only by the GP9, 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.
Peak production of the SD40-2 was in the mid-1970s. Sales of the SD40-2 began to diminish after 1981 due to the oil crisis, increased competition from GE's Dash-7 series and the introduction of the EMD SD50, which was available concurrently to late SD40-2 production. The last SD40-2 delivered to a United States railroad was built in July 1984, with production continuing for railroads in Canada until 1988, Mexico until February 1986, and Brazil until October 1989.
The SD40-2 has seen service in Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Guinea. To suit export country specifications, General Motors designed the JT26CW-SS (British Rail Class 59) for Great Britain, the GT26CW-2 for Yugoslavia, South Korea, Iran, Morocco, Peru and Pakistan, while the GT26CU-2 went to Zimbabwe and Brazil. Various customizations led Algeria to receive their version of a SD40-2, known as GT26HCW-2.

@LunarEclipseSP @SaturnUsedAutos shoutout to you guys for inspiring me to build this thing in the first place!
@32 @MRM19 here is the full, completed version, and since you guys have been nothing but nice, i wanted to thank you all for helping me with stuff!
nice
@DatFiat126Fan19 for the car enthusiast! 😂💀🔥
@Rjenteissussy ain't no way you're gonna put a humongous traain engine into a miata ☠️
Lets engine swapped it on a miata 💀
@asteroidbook345 you're goddamn right.
Conrail Quality
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes don't ya worry mate.
@DatTrainGuy19 also, a small favour. Under the "Compatible Maps" section, could you add SPMR, label it as "upcoming", and link it to this post? Thanks
@DatTrainGuy19 I disabled aircraft collisions on the overhanging parts and bogie frames, and re-enabled aircraft collisions on the wheels themselves.
I'll publish the tweaked version along with SPMR itself lol.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes thats awesome dude! also, what changes did you make exactly?
@DatTrainGuy19 I've made a few tweaks... and it now works on SPMR
EMD SD40 > EMD GT26CW-2 > Korail class 7100 and 7300@DatTrainGuy19
@DatTrainGuy19 Oh.. And that's why i feel similar when i see this train and the one of korail? Good information 👍
Excellent work
@KSB24 hey, if you are wondering, yes, those korail diesel locomotives were actually built by emd, using a highly modified sd40-2 from what i can tell.
@SaturnUsedAutos wait, you still like trains?
@ShirakamiShimada me too
Idk why i absolutely adore conrail paint schemes on these units
Yoooooo GTA5 TRAIN!!!
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes it still didn't show up for some reason, oh, and uhh... actually, i played sp for like... more than 4 hours a week.
@DatTrainGuy19 no probs bob, i love me some trains. I love this train
@DatTrainGuy19 that’s good to hear! If you’re burned out, just be like me and play SP for 4 hours a week lol.
Also, did
