Hi, All.
I am a life long railroad hobbyist and have been contemplating the purchase of some Large Scale equipment for the first time.
My primary modeling interest is three rail O gauge. In O gauge, locomotives marketed as a certain class of engine are not an accurate reprodution of its intended prototype. For example, Lionel's "Dash 9" is really a cross between the 8 and 9 with some details appropriate for one but no the other. Also, MTH's "SD70MAC" is really a model of the SD70M with some AC details added. Neither of the above mentioned models is a particularly good representation of its supposed prototype.
I have seen advertisements for USA's SD70 units. Since I have not personally inspected the locomotive, would anyone be kind enough to tell me if the model is the SD70M or SD70MAC?
Thanks in adavance for any assistance.
Regards,
Bob
