I recently picked up a very detailed used CSX SD70M. It is dead silent when it runs and looks just spectacular (to me anyways). It is marked Life-Like on the bottom (so I was guessing that it was a Proto series release, but I have not been able to find anything on any of the websites. I’ll admit I haven’t opened it up to see what the motor is, but is it what it says it is?
IIRC, P2K did not do a SD70M - Maybe a SD60M?
yep
Life-Like Proto 2K SD60M CSX 8769 HO
theres one they produced
If your engine is an SD70M, than it could be that the original owner bought an Athearn Genesis SD70M and wanted a different drive, replacing the Genesis drive with a P2K drive.
SD60Ms look a lot like SD70Ms. One of the bigger differences between the two is the trucks. The SD60Ms used the same trucks found on SD40s to SD50s.
