I really liked this series a lot, and some of the steps, like the fuel tank detail, the truck detail, pilot detail, bending the handrails, and even the fan detail helped me with building some parts for my 2 MoPac SD40-2's. this was a great series, and I hope you do another one soon. Dan, you are an absolutely amazing model builder, and you now have a stunning model, that will catch anyone's eye.

You should take all 25 and make a DVD / Blue ray of this whole build.

[@tsgmultimedia]

It would be several discs in the set. Not sure anyone would buy that if they can watch it free on here!

[@Vman7757]

I would for my reference Lib. I would buy the whole set of how you did the SP SD45T-2 also. I work in N scale. I learn from the HO because a lot of detail is left out in N. I learn a lot from you. But the videos are not always going to be there for one reason or another. I have been in N scale since 1974. I have had to do a lot of scratch building over the years to get it right. Or as right as I can.

[@tsgmultimedia]

It's not something we haven't considered before. I just didn't think there would be a market for that. Maybe I'll put something together. It's something like 9-10 hours in real time when you add up all the episodes, so it would have to span some 5 discs and might cost upwards of $75-$100 depending how it would be packaged and presented.

[@Vman7757]

For that? I would pay around $75. When you consider I will put that much in one N scale engine even before I put DCC in it? Times how many I have done for free for friends? I am a visual learner. Videos are a lot more helpful for me than books. Don't get me wrong I have a huge lib of books and mags too. My studio walls are lined with books I use. Not to mention what I have in boxes. I am a huge SP fan.
