Glad you like them Chris, I have the third one in production now. I agree
that he mix wheel count is a pain, but until LEGO makes a 6 wheel engine I'm
a bit hosed. Yes GP40T-2 where made, but these really aren't "T" even though
that's what they where originally modeled after. A "T" (or tunnel) engine
would have the blower vents down low on the back and not up high, I'm sure
it was something to do with traveling through tunnels and getting the most
ventilation.
