One important note for anyone who is thinking of purchasing one. I have 3 and all 3 have fuels tanks which are VERY low and can rub against the rail to the point that they need a push to get over a hump in rail (such as when it crests a grade). There is a slight bur on either end of the tank which u can file and it does help some. Ive seen a video showing how to take the fuel tanks off so u can file the frame a bit in order to get the tanks to sit a bit higher and cure the issue. Just wanted to make folks aware of this. For the price these things go for this is inexcusable.
@@stars-in-the-galaxy333 thanks for watching the video and for sharing this information. This will help the model railroading community, I really appreciate it.
If ScaleTrains did a 70's UP SD40-2 in N or HO, I'd be interested. ScaleTrains does have SD40T-2's coming late this year and I"ve pre-ordered. Expecting great things.
@@UnionPacificAustralia The upcoming tunnel motors look like they should improve upon the already nice Intermountain ones. One negative of the Intermountain are the plows, which just don't look very good.

Just curious, Its numbered 8080 but has 8099 on the nose. Misprint?
