IM SD40-2 N Scale

I'm after a close up photo of the walkways on an Intermountain SD40-2, mainly to see if they have started putting tread on them of if they are still smooth as per the Tunnel Motors and SD45-2's.  :o and if there are any problems with the way IM have assembled the shell i.e are they still gluing them or are they now more like Atlas and Kato (snap fit)?

Cheers  :D

Intermountain's SD40-2 do have treads. Here's a link to several close up photos of the walkways.

The fine details are great but the hand rails are susceptible to damage even with gentle handling.  There are spots where you can see excessive glue used when attaching some of the detailed parts aw well.
