Material is irrelevant; the final weight is. If you look at a typical intermodal train, it will typically be made up of various car types, and not purely one style. In regards to models, if a car is underweight, simply add weight to the bottom container to bring it to NMRA specifications...

You're overlooking the fact those models were produced over two decades ago. How is that relevant to today?

It appears that different headlights are being confused. To make it perfectly clear, what the SD45T-2 model is equipped with are Pyle-National brand Gyralites. They were the preferred signal light supplier for SP and SSW throughout the 1960s until they discontinued signal light usage in the...

You've obviously never compared a GP40X to a GP40-2, since both are dramatically different from the other. How could you not notice the flared radiators on the GP40X, since that's its most distinctive feature? And obviously manufacturers see a market for those and other models you've derided...

Cannon & Co. only makes the "Spartan" style of EMD cabs, for the 35-line and Dash-2 series. They have never made safety cabs, Canadian or otherwise.

Yes, UP 3300 is equipped with what is commonly referred to as a "Snoot" nose, which was an option EMD offered to allow the railroads additional space to house early Locotrol radio equipment. Curiously, even though UP ordered Snoots, none were ever equipped with Locotrol. UP's Snoot SD40-2s all...
