Hi All:

I’m thinking about changing my railroad year to 2004 and have a kato n scale sd 70 mac # 727 in the “hockey stick” paint scheme. I’ve found photos of it in 2004 wearing this same scheme but can’t seem to find one showing the roof. Would csx have repainted the roof white with this scheme in 2004?

Here’s an online site for some pics of the engine. A pic from 2004 shows that it had a white cab roof by then.

Please note that CSX renumbered it when they started getting GEVOs.

In the picture taken from 2003,CSX 727 appears to have a white roof.
