Since you make an N scale SD-60 and CN has been purchasing and upgrading the former Oakway units, any chance you could do one like this  ?

Not that I want to pass up a chance to gig Paul and Cory (!), but that's actually an easy kitbash.  You need a roof top A/C, a winterization hatch, a slab of syrene for the plate/hatch on the nose, and perhaps ditchlight castings.  The rest would be paint and decals afaik.  Go for it!

The SD60's come with a winterization hatch and the plate on the nose.  All you need is the AC unit.

But seriously, this should be on Atlas' list....

Cory,
+5 internets to you for being on the spot with the CORRECT answer!

And thanks for interacting with us here - it's nice to get to play with the big boys.

Nice!  All these used locomotives CN is picking up are great- no kitbashing required!  They are planning on buying more this year as well.

Scott, CP's got a number of units at Agincourt TUUS, including AC4400's and un-rebuilt SD60's. I'm sure EHH would love to sell them to anyone with cash.

Cory, N scale GP40-2W. Please.

Too new for me and not Milwaukee Road but, dang, those are sharp looking locos.  Congrats to those who are waiting for these.
Best regards,

Roger

Back in February, you said the CN SD60s were on the list ... any updates to this status?

Thanks
