Now shipping from Intermountain - SD40-2W

[coosvalley]

I'm sure you could find a way to lift the shells of you 3 pending locos if that happens. Or you could just run them without the shells seated properly. 

I'm just dumbfounded that you would be disappointed if they fixed them to be more accurate. I understand that you want them to match, but they do sit at the wrong height.

Either way, IM seems to prefer their locos sit too high , so I doubt this will a problem for you.

I had a few minutes this morning so I decided to pull out my IM B&O F3A and F7A units. I measured them with my machinists ruler and I get a height of barely 1 1/16" height. Which scales to 14'-2" prototype drawing 14'-1/2". I can live with a 1.5" error i assume the drawings I checked are accurate but maybe I'm wrong.

Love how this thread drifted from SD40-2Ws to F units/ride height...  good ol' Railwire. (Side note my phone auto corrected Railwire to Failure.  )

On the topic of F units, I'd kill for some KCS FP9s... Southern Belle please!

As for the 40-2Ws those I am sure are very welcomed by our Canaderp modelers. (Sorry I had to... I watch too much AvE.)
I'd love a cab for a GP40 for a KCS unit though.

 you and me both. I've got a half done GP40-2L in KCS thats got a Miniatures By Eric cab . . . it will be fabulous when I finish it.

The FP9 I reserved has a TBD listed for at least a year now.

Heck, just reserve a Rapido... it will be out way before IM's and be better detailed.

If those measurements are accurate that is the fanaticalness I was referring to.  Lol.  What is 160th of an inch and a half.

Just think how easy it would be for them to release a GP38W and GP40W...

I rather have them done by Atlas.
