That’s actually awesome! I seen 4044 in real life in 2019 and when I seen that ScaleTrains made it I preordered it myself. It’s now running on my layout

Blower duct cools down the Traction motors

The hood box is a door to the sanding rooms

this type of train actually runs by my neighborhood!

[Syracuse_rail_product]

Ho scale sd40-3 is a awesome locomotive i got one coming in the mail

Invest in a NCE starter powercab set. You won't regret it and then get you a sound unit. Nice switching!

[YohamYT]

Great video Crafty! Keep up this type of content, loving your model train reviews.

I was wondering when he would get an sd40 of some sort, although I prefer the -2 rather than the -3

[stoveapple]

I saw one when I was rail fanning and I got one. I made a CSX cleaning train with all csx power and rolling stock

[OrangeCountyRails]

I have something that kind of looks like that. It’s BNSF 1478, a GP15-1. Although, I might have to send it back and get something to replace it!

Although in the future, could you do more intermodal stuff?

Another thing, every time I try to find a locomotive on ScaleTrains, I find what I’m looking for, but they are COMPLETELY out of stock.

For me i really like csx’s safety cab design

[Blaze]

Imagine if spongebob himself met one of these!
(EDIT) I also forgot to mention CSX 8888 was sadly turned into one of these many years back and is now numbered 4389

That loco looks epic, I have one too but it’s in O Gauge

[mrsalmon]

Nice to see a standard nose cab on your layout. if you saw my comment and decided to get one thank you

[bettyacheampong]

send SpongeBob to the csx + put it on a csx sd40-2 = perfection.

[luke-sux-at-games]

may i recomend getting some little alcos for yard stuff to (maby some slugs)

[THEcolaman-dv]

Can you get the CSX SD40-2 next please

[asynclaboratory]

I’m pretty sure that rectangular box that you were talking about is the bathroom on the train

[theoldbayrailfan]

I got a scale trains spirit of Ravena for Christmas I recommend it
