Southern Pacific black widow SD40T-2 #8393

A fun play on “what-if” could leave the imagination to visualize what would happen if SP never adopted the Grey and Red “Bloody nose” scheme. We are offering that thought as a reality with this release. Referred to as “Black Widow” from railfans, this is our representation of what could have been if the scheme was still used.

An Athearn exclusive, they are the ultimate answer to “What if?” Featuring some of the most popular railroad paint schemes of all time, these models are perfect for collecting, proto-freelancing, or just plain fun! Whether company proposed paint schemes, canceled locomotive orders, or alternate takes on history, Legendary Liveries are fun and unique additions to any roster. Enjoy these items, and answer the ultimate railroad question of: “What if?”
