Inspiration Pics: ~~Update, March 11, 2009~~ I painted and installed the handrails, following the prototype, then ends were painted white. I also drilled out the grab iron holes and installed and painted some of them. The grab irons that need to be red will be painted when i get the SP red Paint (on order, should be here early next week). Here is some pics of her with the grabs installed and handrails installed: ~~Update, March 17, 2009~~ Today i painted and added some truck details to this unit. I had these left over from one of my BNSF SD75I units, so they worked just fine: Union Pacific/Southern Pacific AC6000CW - Trucklover - 03-16-2009 Pics to come soon of UP/SP AC6000 #602 Rumor has it, SP had 3 of these on order before the UP/SP merger, #'s 600, 601, and 602. No SP paint ever made it on the units. From what i hear SP AC6000CW #602 is now UP AC6000CW #7012 which i do not have any pics of....

**UPDATE ON THIS LOCO, February 16, 2009** I got a set of handrails for SD50/60 locos with my new BNSF SD70M i traded. The handrail set was black so i painted them CNW green and let them dry. Then cut them out and applied them to the CNW SD60: Inspiration Pic: CSX SD50 YN3 Paint Scheme (aka Dark Future) - Trucklover - 03-16-2009 Athearn CSX SD50. She wears number 8503.

Inspiration Pic: CSX SD60 (aka Stealth) Paint Scheme - Trucklover - 03-16-2009 Athearn CSX SD60. She wears number 8706. Needs the following:
According to the CSX Roster, this loco should be a YN3 paint scheme. #8706 is known as the "Stealth" Scheme. CSX did a ton of different paint schemes back in the mid to late 80's. This was one of them. They didnt last long tho, and most had been repainted by the early 90's. So in a way, you could call this a "fantasy" paint scheme for the CSX. Stealth units were all CSX gray from the walkway up and CSX blue from the walkway down. Some had the front and rear painted yellow with CSX Gray from the walkway up and CSX Blue from the walkway down, and some had the front, rear, walkway, and railings painted yellow while everything else was the same. Mine is like the second one described, with the front and rear painted yellow with CSX logos. ~~UPDATE MARCH 10, 2009~~ I also painted the handrails on this unit as well, some quick pics of this unit in the lead of a chip train CSX SD70MAC YN3 Paint Scheme (aka Dark Future) - Trucklover - 03-16-2009 Athearn CSX SD70MAC.
