Would love to buy one of these but you web site only gives the option to ship within Canada.     Are you going to open it up to you southern friends?

The home page says to select "locl pickup" for international orders.   The balance of shipping is due when I ship.   Ill ask nicely for repayment.

That B unit looks so good! Hopefully not hijacking the thread too much but out of curiosity would you be willing to produce some of the BNSF/BN versions of the SD40B/40-2B? I believe the SOO shell is rather close already to a few of the BN/BNSF prototypes that are still around. Heck the SOO 6450 was built from one. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to combine elements from your GMD projects to make some of the other B unit variants. I know I will definitely be intrested in some BNSF shells if that's possible!

Maybe a shell only replacement?   Looks like it retains the stock battery boxes?

I'm frankly shocked that Atlas still has'nt brought their U30B to N scale ...  :facepalm:

In any case, U30B in various phases to fit the Atlas U23B chassis might be a thing that a few people want.

Cheers,

Mark
