While i can't use this model, I'm glad that something other than a modern diesel , that people have been asking about is finally being made. It will make lots of Milwaukee rd/soo line/ WC modellers happy. Maybe the next museum quality or rivet counter loco could be either the C&O GP39 (20 produced, repainted chessie, csx in various schemes, and on to second operators ) as well as AN had one. Another unique loco would be the C&O /Chessie/VLIX/ADM/and other private grain elevator operators got 2nd or 3rd hand. The SD18 was unique with its slanted low nose, and Alco Tri-mount trucks. Talk about unique. The body could lend itself to other SD18 models for DM&IR , EJ&E and CKIN.
