    its nice but they missed some things. the fuel tank is to be blue not black, also the trucks are blue not black. the horn wasn't painted and where is the winterization hatch? other than that it is a cool engine. i painted one for ed pinkley and it turned out cool, alot better than i thought it would. ed still owes me $100 for it too, so where's my scratch ed?

    BN 1991 had its winterization hatch removed and the end of its life in that paint scheme. There is a picture of it like this in Pool Power West (GREAT book).

    I was rail fanning down here near my house and actually saw this unit!! About two weeks after it was painted back into H II!!! [​IMG] [​IMG]

    One more, it should have the modern style cab sunshades but the older ones look just as good.

    I saw the H II version and the only thing different about it from the H II SD70MAC's is that the MAC's have a wide stripe on top but a smaller strype running along the walkway while the SD60M has full width stripes on both the top and bottom. Thats about the only difference.
