Title: CR SD40-2 / Athearn
Post by: blue flag on March 01, 2008, 09:27:51 AM
anyone see the just released Athearn RTR Conrail can/opener SD40-2's??
Does  the color look right to you??
I picked up the one I had ordered yesterday. Its quite abit darker then my Athearn CR GP38 & 40-2's ~ this SD kinda looks like it has a purple tone/cast  in the color as compared to my Geeps.

They did a good job on every other CR paintjob except for the SD40's. They do look a little dark, like the P2K SD60's.
