We offer tread and step sets for the Athearn SD40-2. The original set ST-2005 was designed to fit the Blue Box version and RTR versions up to mid 2007 Athearn production. These are the one piece bodies with a generic 88 inch nose. In 2007 Athearn introduced RTR versions of the SD40-2 that were much improved. They are now offering four different nose lengths. They also applied these changes to the SD40T-2. As such it was necessary for us to add a new set for the revised model while still offering the ST-2005 tread set for the previous models. ST-2036 is for the new production SD40-2 with the 88 inch nose.

New sets were also designed for the SD40T-2, with ST-2030 for the 81 inch nose version, and ST-2031 for the 88 inch versions. To cover the 116 and 123 inch nose versions, supplemental nose pieces are available with ST-2032 for 116 inch and ST-2033 for 123 inch nose versions. These can also be used with ST-2036 for the SD40-2 to model the 116 and 123 inversions. For 81 inch versions of the SD40-2 one additional nose piece ST-2034 provides that nose tread. I hope this helps clarify these parts.

1001 thru 1009 Hood Doors

The original hood doors were very accurate and had the detail on the inside representing the frame. However these were hard to use, since they trapped solvent fumes which warped the thin styrene. Gordon modified the tooling to make them solid and renumbered them 1011 thru 1017 (and added 1020). There was no change to 1008 and 1009, but they were renumbered at the same time. The old numbers were discontinued. However I do have some stock of some of these available. If you have a project that needs open doors, send me an E-mail and I can quote availability.
