Micro-Trains From Italy first sd40-2

AsI already wrote in my introduction, I recently discovered the American Z scale.
In Europe we are manipulated by Marklin and his old school of Z scale, but i've always been a lover of the colossal American trains.

I'm a fan of trains but not only,I also like to custom and create some stuff,now it's time to create something for the z scale.
Finally got my first sd-40, first of all I started to change a few details and add some extra parts.


tnx
and sorry for my English.
