For those of you who haven't seen this, I posted these over on N-Scale.net...
I know some may find these pictures disturbing, but I just finished up my first modelling project with an N-Scale locomotive. I had originally purchased an undecorated Kato SD70Mac... as well as some Microscale Decals. This is, of course, before I had immersed myself enough in the Canadian National prototype to realize that CN never actually purchased such locomotives... they have SD70i and SD75i locomotives...
"Big deal" I thought, and then I began to notice the significant differences in outward appearances. So I had designs on maybe converting this loco... but since i am new to this hobby, I figured baby steps... even if it means committing roadname heresy...
So, here is CN 8031, a fictional "what if" locomotive had Canadian National experimented with AC power, and gone with the SD70Mac:
Feedback? (As I prepare to don my flameproof suit)
