Premier CSX SD70Mac

Stinky1OGR Forum Member

I have one on order and I was wondering if the CSX version will be a standard SD70MAC or if they will represent the new SD70AC rebuilds that CSX is doing? I believe these units stand out as they have a noticeable hump above and behind the cab, and a special Huntington Shop decal below the DP decal.

Thanks!

While it appears that they have the rebuild paint scheme, it's unclear whether they added "the hump." I undertook a project to create my own rebuild before Atlas made their release. I took an existing SD70Mac shell, stripped it, added the hump and other details such as PTC antennas and MU hoses. Then I repainted applied decals from Microscale, Circus City and my own before a light coat of weathering.

Received today. One sunshade was broken off, but managed to glue it back. Overall a great looking locomotive! I especially like the ditch light design. It also has the Huntington Locomotive Shop decal. My first Atlas O Premier locomotive.
