| In the real world, most "patch kits" are exactly what they sound like, a vinyl "patch" that is stuck onto the side of the locomotive to cover its old numbering or logos, in the place of the railroad repainting the locomotive fully. It's a common phenomenon with older locomotives that have changed hands one or more times, and the venerable EMD SD40-2 is no exception.
These HO locomotives are prototypically matched to existing real-world Ex-Santa Fe "patched" locomotives, and have been painstakingly researched and re-detailed to more exactly replicate the prototype's appearance; with the addition of metal lift rings, extra paint details, weathered couplers and wheels, and color-matched AC units (yes, it's supposed to be orange), these are a picture-perfect representation of these fanciful locomotives that aren't normally available at regular retail.
- • Available with DCC & Sound installed
- • Prototypical road numbers along with added conspicuity striping
- • MU hoses, couplers, wheel sets, windshield wipers, and step edges detail painted, with horn and air conditioner painted as appropriate and metal lift rings installed for greater detail
