CN SD75I 5761

[MRL Mick]

As a novice CN Modeller I was looking through a CN photo site and came upon an engine that was described as an SD60W. The engine was numbered 5761. Does this engine exist as an SD60, or is it an SD70?
I have a spare Atlas SD60M I would love to paint as a CN engine. smile.gif

P.S. Hi Mick , I edited the topic opener of this post , from CN SD60M , to CN "SD75I" .

It's a SD75I , 4300 Horsepower

I must confess my ignorance...what visually is the difference?

Thanks for the information, I wonder why it is listed as an SD60, strange, I thought from the picture I was looking at, the door was on the wrong side anyway.

Thanks

Here's the only differnece between 70and75I's

CN 5600 - CN 5625 are SD70I's with 4000 available Horsepower per Unit .

CN 5627 - CN 5800 are SD75I's with 4300
available Horsepower per unit .

The difference is that additional 300 HP . Horsepower

SD70/75's are longer than the SD60M

As well, at the back firemans side, there is also another rad section, a small square one below the main one.

As well there is a different blower duct, and the walkway is raised. The SD60M has a freeflow duct, at the rear.

Hey Mick ! Can you get a photo of any of your models and post them here in the CN Forum ? That would be neat smile.gif

And there you go also rsn48 , Jon is a book of knowledge , I did not know if you meant the difference between the 70/75's or the SD60M's and the 70/75's .

None the less you learned something new today smile.gif

I even did from Jon :D

[DaveCN5710]

Mick today I worked Train #281 and had the CN 5771 in the lead , but guess what .

I got to my destination and right next to me sat the CN 5761 , I swear on my life , I am
kicking myself for not taking my camera to work :eek:

[MRL Mick]

Sounds excellent Mick , looking forward to those photos smile.gif

Good news is the layout is just about finished. I managed to get hold of another two CN DASH 9S from Pacific scale Rail in Vancouver. You can view the layout images in the Nscale Forum. I will post some Loco pics very soon. :D :cool:

My question is, how much longer is the SD70/75I's than the SD50/60? I know the trucks are different also, does this effect the fuel tank?

I had a manual on CN's SD70/75I's but I gave it away . I'll look into your question and when I get back to work I will look into this .
