well technically they rostered SD40M-2's rebuilds which were essentially dash 2s under various hoods, several of which were either rebuilt SD40s or SD45s with standard vertical radiator grills

Is that an SD-M or a stock SD7/9/18?
The number series pictured is a Phase 3 SD9. DMIR had all four phase type SD9s, if I'm not mistaken.
If this ever gets made, maybe some 70 ton ore jennies to go with it
Yeah! Maybe a content pack with the ore cars and the ph3 SD9, maybe an SD38-2 or SD-M in there as well. I'd buy it!
I would get those if they're ever created since they used to hang out in Lawrence, MA yard and elsewhere.
Guilford sadly was a local entity here after destroying the B&M D&H, and MEC. They ditched the D&H after sucking the life out of them and reinvented themselves as Pan Am Railways before selling off what's left of the B&M and MEC to CSX which happened a short time ago this year. It's great that they're gone, but not what they did beforehand.

The Grey-black-red was to me a big coverup to hide the legacy of the railroads as if to erase them.
True about the lash-ups though. When the mergers first took place, there was quite a show on the mainline with the frequent freights. I lived on the mainline in Andover and saw the D&H C420s hooked up with MEC U25Bs and B&M GP40s. These were frequent and quite long. I have some old Disc camera pictures from a day I spent at Lawrence Yard. There were through freights, MBTA Easter Eggs hauling depowered B&M Budd Liners and other freights. Then suddenly all that stopped as Guilford put the screws on the system and started its cuts which resulted in the big strike.
Would love to see one of these built. GP10 rebuilt GP9 by Paducah. Love the frog eyes front lights.
God... if they did GP10's...... I know the railroad, it's tracks, and all the motive power (except the one engine at the museum) are all gone and scrapped.... but if they came out with ESHR #8096 ("Cape Charles"), #8066 ("Exmore"), #2000 ("Parksley"), & #2001 ("Pocomoke City"), I have family members that would die of happiness.....

would love more Paducah rebuilds in general!
ARR 1801-1809 were rebuilt by Paducah to almost GP10's as well (1810 was rebuilt by MKM and afaik was less liked by crews)
Those ARR units are sharp! Interesting how there's a giant box above the rear long hood radiators, what's that for?
Probably the winterization hatch, which are common on diesels that work in cold climates.
