7:52 Dynamic brake vent (shoebox vent). Brake fans sit above exhaust and bearings in fans were overheating. EMD added insulated structure with ductwork to cool the bearings. Cooling air enters from the sides and exits through the roof vent.
Do these have the multi colored side lights like Scale trains version? Or do those not work at all? The ones on either side of the gyro? Really wanted a Scale Trains version but I cannot find one for sale.
@@jasonworden8209 On this model, the class lights do not light up and are actually plated over. By the 1990s, both class lights and gyro lights were becoming obsolete as the railroads realized that ditch lights were easier and cheaper to maintain and repair.

Thanks for the information!
I'm interested in the classic era D&RGW SD40T-2's which were released very recently. The one you have looks like a late era SD40T-2's.
Yes. You are correct. My SD40T-2's are the versions from the 1990s.
You can add a orange led to make the beacon light up.
Cool!
I got get some more to strip down, redetail and paint ...
Beautiful loco!
Indeed!
I love athearn trains...i have This locomotive in my layout.
Happy New year. 2:29
Happy new year
Too bad the beacon doesnt flash as well.
Nice!!! First thing to do with a Athearn Locomotive, is turn the sound wayyyyy down!! My goodness, they are always too loud out of the box.
I agree.

Ok ty for the info! 💯
@@jasonworden8209 You're welcome!
You sure the beacon light doesn’t work, I saw wires are attached to it
It probably does work, but I didn't press the button on my controller to activate it.
@@elvasjunctionreviews it does work, function 24 is the control.
@@trainjack16 Okay, cool
