I have just completed version 2 of my new Rio Grande SD40, this is going to
be one of three.

Part of this latest version is a new SNOT designed cab windows, I wanted to
get away from the standard LEGO house windows. Also you may notice that I
did use a custom piece for the sun visiors over the side windows, it's an
adventures car window with the corners cut at an angle and painted black.
The decals are from Microscale, I just couldn't get a dark enough orange off
my ink jet printer that would work on black bricks (thanks to John Neal for
pointing me in the direction of Microscale).

Take a look and let me know what you think:
