Model Railroading > Athearn RTR BC Rail SD40-2Date: 06/29/11 18:06 Athearn RTR BC Rail SD40-2 Author: chatnoir Does anyone know if this model has the headlight in the nose? I can't tell from the picture on Athearn's website.

If so, headlights in both locations would be correct.

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1819384 Only difference is that the top headlight is a signal light (Mars or Gyralite) as it was on SBD, rather than a Pyle headlight as on the model.

A few of the HLCX leasers did not (these are not my pics, just used for modeling purposes):

I don't mind if they leave off the occasional detail, as long as there aren't mega-faux pas to remove. Looking forward to this winter's UPs in the original paint.
