In 2021, the CP Heritage SD70s had the wrong numbers as shown in the catalog. Now, in 2022, they are using the SD90 model whose cab is all wrong for the heritage and military versions. MTH got the CP Heritage units perfect but messed up the green military one. Why can't Lionel get this right???

they dont care
The CP prototype is a SD70ACU, which were converted from SD90’s. Neither Lionel or MTH tooled up for that.
MTH used the SD70ACE tooling, which has a similar cab, but the wrong body, and Lionel is using the SD90 tooling, which doesn’t have the rebuilt cab of the prototype, but does have the correct longer body.
It would be nice to see a proper SD70ACU someday.
