I love that Burlington Northern SD-40! Great review, now I’m looking for one. 👍💯

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

Careful Frank. They are addicting like Trainmasters!

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

Thanks for the warning! 😆😆👍

Fantastic vid Matt! The BN green paint scheme is awesome. I have a GP20 in green and black. The roof beacon is a must have on a green BN, very cool. I love the front and rear porches on the GP40-2! That’s one diesel model that I don’t have yet!

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

Thanks! Don't see these much, but the MTH ones are around. Never seen a Lionel modern one up close. Would like to though. Is your BN GP20 the same run as the converted WP GP20, or newer?

[@naxshack]

Yep, the BN is the same shell as the WP. I upgraded the BN a long time ago and have a somewhat recent vid of it. I had to add the roof beacon though as it didn’t originally come with one.

@naxshack I will go find the video, thanks.

@huntercoleman460 Yes. Did you know that when they went out of business in 2015, over 70% of their products were still made in USA?
