well, I have finally finished my newest creatures[:D]

these are the 4 SD70M’s i have been hacking on for the past month or so. they have the flared radiator sections and the new cab style (phase 2 cab) I guess UP foamers are calling these phase III SD70M’s. i dont know what the NS foamers call them[:D] these basically involved a whole lot of cutting to remove the radiator sections and to remove the hatches on the top of the long hood. then i slapped in the new radiator sections and slapped on the new cab, painted them, decaled them, and they are ready to haul some freight.

yes, i know my UP units have the wrong step arrangement. but i coulnt find the right walkway assemblies. the flared radiator sections and the phase 2 cabs can be found at http://www.seprotomodels.com

They look really cool, I wish I could model like that, to scared to make major changes to my Loco’s so far.

Very nice! But, wouldn’t it have been easiar to buy one of the Athearn Genesis SD70Ms with flared radiators?

Athearn Genesis has not produced any SD70M’s with the flared radiators. all they do is the regular ones. Kato is doing the flared radiator/phase 2 cab SD70M’s in N scale. but there are none in HO so far.

Ohhhhhhhhhh! So flared rediators look kind of like the radiators on the SD80/90MACs. Sorry, I thought they were something else. Anyways, nice work Nightcrawler.
