The K-line SD70 That Lionel Made...Let's See Them!

@scale rail posted:

The 2005 K-line catalog had three different SD70 diesels for $125 conventional. All new tooling. I understand they went out of business but Lionel made good on the orders. Did any of you get yours and can we see pictures. Santa Fe, Alaska, or the CXS models. Don

You also forgot the Conrail model as well.

Hourseshoe, I'm just going by my original catalog. Sorry, didn't know they added one. Sad, it was the last catalog from them mailed to me. There were 15 Super Stores listed. Don

Here is some photos of the $250 TMCC version of the Santa Fe.

A true beauty, Lionel should Dump their current SD70 and go with this one. All that it needs is a scale fuel tank.  I ordered some Lionel fuel tanks from their half price bonanza to try and modify for this engine.

CAPPilot, Thanks for the pics. That is an amazingly detailed engine. What a way to end K-line. By the way, what did you fly in the Air Force? If you would send that answer to my E-mail. Thanks. Don

SPSF, I notice my catalog said "Scale fuel tank available if demands warrants". I guess it didn't warrant it. Don

These are indeed the finest SD70M and MAC engines out there. I custom painted these, crafted scale fuel tanks from brass sheet stock, and added fixed pilots and full length handrails, plus Kadee couplers. Also had these upgraded to PS3.0. Some of my favorite locos by a long shot....

I’m looking for one more SD75 to repaint if anyone has one to sell... thanks

Wow! Very Impressive Jeff. You are a true artist.

Great looking engine with lots of features but had numerous issues with electronics, ended up replacing with ERR and new sound board and works great.   I like engines with radiator wings and came across some prints of SD70ace  for G scale engines with radiators on Thingverse.  I was able to scale them down and print.  Not a perfect fit but a fun project.
