Alex, as far as I know there were 3 GP 40 Beveridge Kits built or versions thereof in S scale existence. I built a Chessie System B&O GP40-2 1977 full model Beveridge power, finished it in 1979. Jon built a Great Northern Bi Centiennial 1776 1976 GP40P in 1979. We exibited and ran them in the S fest in Chicago in 1979. (Both of us lost to hi rail models in the model contest,go figure) Jessie Bennett built one, have not seen it, think it was a snoot UP SD 40-2, no decals. Ken Zieska took pics of it when he visited Jessie's layout a few years ago before Jessie passed. Don't want to insult any professional brass modelers, but building it was not for the weak of modeling heart. Your best resistence brass modeling skills will be needed. Hope this helps Merry Christmas regards Jerry Smith Arnold Md
