Since going 8-wide I am down to one engine, but I do plan on making a second
SD40-2 identical to my first one someday, but I was thinking the same along the
same lines. In reality two SD40-2's could haul a train much longer than I'll
ever build.

By the way I really like your F7A, but I have said that before, and I am looking
forward to seeing the ABA combination. I love when model railroaders lash
together multiple units.

PS I built a 7-wide car carrier to run with my old 6-wide stuff, but my move to
8-wide made it obsolete.
