dave, my two sd70's (std cab) do the same thing, but they run fine. those wheelsets have copper brushes for electrical contact inside of the sideframes. those...
matt, the athearn genesis sd70 (std cab) is the same color as the sd70macs cause i compared them...unless you got cataracts. as for the cabs numbers on the...
That is correct. They are both the same shade of blue and both are wrong. I am sure, Matt is dealing with that shade of the SD70 because no one else makes the ...
james, yep, same blue, but the numbers on some of the ath. gen. 70macs are not centered correctly on the cab sides. you may have the right ones. the ones i...
brian, i already dealt with that blue. i weathered the body with a little white dust and covered it with a little black wash. it worked well. matt a. ... From:...
Hearing this I cannot wait to see the new CR Blue. I might actually get a decorated model instead of an undec. Another thing maybe we could consider? I emailed...
chris, it's a great idea. the thing is, it may be a competitior for kato. i keep hearing that kato is going to do the cr style sd40-2 later in 2007, with the...
Well, with a new run from Kato due very soon, I am sure they will play a wait and see how they go. Athearn did just retool theirs about 3-4 years ago. I...
brian, i wish i had some pics. we really need athearn to focus on the eastern roads a little more. they do a TON of UP SD70M'S in many numbers, and BNSF as...
Hi, new member delurking here with a question. When I first saw a Kato CR SD70MAC with the black fans, I thought it might be a mistake or trying to portray a...
There's a reason for this. Athearn is based in California, while Atlas is in New Jersey and Bowser is in Pennsylvania. norseman73@... wrote: brian, i...
david, the cr sd70's, 70macs had black fans, but i forget why. i don't remember seeing the cr sd60m's or 60I's with black fans, all blue. the ones you saw may...
sean, indeed, but they are a NATIONAL company. atlas does UP and BNSF models, cr models and other eastern roads, along with western roads in equal numbers....

Thanks Guys! I had no idea about the Kato run? Is it definite that they will be releasing the model for Conrail with correct trucks and anticlimber? If so that...
No, it is not definite on the Conrail SD40-2 specific. The info did come from a Kato rep at the NMRA show in Philly. He said that he gave all of the...
Hello Conrailfriends, I am new to this group, some of you might have seen messages from me somewhere else Conrail related. I wouldn't be contributing much in ...
GERT, all of your cr buddies are here if you need us! you are always welcome! i have been married for 10 yrs. and i know how it is! you need help, or anything...
Good morning everyone, Just a reminder that I am going to print the last 2006 run for the custom Conrail decal sets (including the 4 new sets & the decs now...

I am doing a little bit of additional detailing to the Atlas MP15DC switcher. I see from one of my books that the horn looks like a single chime type. Would...
Hey all - I picked up a fine model this weekend at the Syracuse Train Fair, an Atlas Conrail B40-8, with sound - I'm blown away. Beautiful engine, great...
Glad you like the Atlas - great unit & the only real drawback is the beacon - Conrail didn't have these, but it's a fairly easy fix using a chisel blade to cut...
Matt, I don't think mine has the beacon, unless I was so transfixed that I missed it.... Were these the last 4 axle units that were delivered to CR? Jered ... ...

Not a direct answer (SP's B40-8's were built in 1988-1989) but I will note that Athearn has just cut the prices of DCC+sound Genesis F units by $20 per unit,...
