What's with the weird spacing of the #'s on the cabs of the CN units?

Hi Rob

What are the chances that Atlas will do the HLCX paint outs of the CN GP40-2W?

I wish the roadnumbers matched up then it would of been easy for me to fix.

Seeing the model in CN colo(u)rs makes a big difference! Looking forward to the ones I have ordered.

But yellow class lights?

Hi Atlas,

May I note the following: contour of the front CN widows should be black, not red.

Wow. Nice looking GP40-2Ws. Somebody get Rob a congratulatory case of beer and then some C-430 blueprints and dimensional drawings.

You mean the gasket needs to be black. Lots of factory models don't have the gasket painted black. There are all kinds of methods to fix that.

Shouldn't the GO Transit unit have ROUND sand fill hatches?

There has been a lot of rumors about the nose length being wrong and I am curious if there are any direct side shots of the cab so that the dimensions can be measured against a prototype cab.
