Flared Radiator

Has MTH or LIONEL ever made an SD70M/SD70MAC with flared radiator's.I think this is what EMD did when the engine where up dated with better cooling systems?. I have never seen it in O gauge.The radiators are not as flared as the SD70ACE.any one else like to see this done.

This was Lionel's attempt at an SD70M with flared radiators...6-28227. This catalog depiction does not show them...as it came out about the time flared radiators debuted. Lionel reacted and flared the radiators on the production model. This engine rode on the same chassis as the earlier released "tunnel motors" and suffered because of its rear truck placement.

I am sure they followed this one with an SD70M in a set with a road number of 4980...but, I don't recall if those radiators were flared.

Here's an actual photo I borrowed from another website.

SD60M Thank you for posting this.I like how the engine looks MTH or Lionel should make a newer model of the Flared Radiator on a SD70M or SD70Mac.
