How Good Is This Tiny Tunnel Motor? - Unboxing and Product Review of the N ScaleTrains SD40T-2 SP! Tunnel motors were built to draw cooler air from a lower height to combat overheating in Southern Pacific’s snow sheds on Donner Pass. Rio Grande also bought some of these locomotives. The SD40T-2 was essentially an SD40-2 with a different radiator section. Neither the SP nor the Rio Grande had conventional SD40-2s. Overall ScaleTrains did a great job capturing the appearance of this unit as it was in the mid to late 1990s. In addition to looking good, this model is a good runner and has great sound and lighting features! As usual, Dan evaluates the model's packaging, prototype accuracy, paint & detail, and how well it operates and conforms to applicable standards! Dan even gives this engine a "real world" road test on the Siren Creek layout!
