I have a TON of wide cab SD40-2s from somewhere, but I can't remember exactly. 
They were freeware though so you should be able to get your hands on them. I don't know about any Geeps but when in doubt, what Dermmy said.

They're at Maple Leaf Tracks.com
These are for MSTS only, I do believe.
They will happen...

I don't know, the ones I have work fine in TRS2006.
Maybe they're from somewhere else.http://trainzproroutes.com/downloads/index.php?act=category&id=61
You can go into a CN coma here. Just have to register first.

AHA! I think that's where I got mine from. Shameful that I can't remember such things... :hehe:
Absolutely correct, Dave. I asked Andy a while ago whether he'd be interested in producing routes for Trainz, but he said he wasn't interested. Instead he's continuing with MSTS1 support.
His stuff is great. I personally own his D&H Bridge Line and B&O Sand Patch routes.

Is it wrong that I love CN stuff the most out of all North American locomotion, purely because of the livery being sexy ?
I have a handful of GP40s (all UP) and a TON of SD40-2s, for Southern Pacfiic, Union Pacific, Great Northern, ATSF, CB&Q, Burlington Northern and BNSF for my 1975 and present day layouts. Most, if not all, of these locos came from third-party sites.
I have found a plethora of second-gen diesels (got Dash 8's and 9's by the dozens, which with the ARN numbering system, can actually represent HUNDREDS of locos), and several suitable steam engines for my 1954 layout. But I am seriously lacking in the first gens, like F units, which when alongside steam power just screams early to mid 50's. Problem is you can't search DLS for anything shorter than three letters, so F9 for F3 doesn't work.

Nope. Not at all.
Why I need GP40-2Ws
I need some for modifying windows and reskinning to make MBTA GP40MCs
