I'm reasearching modifying a SD70MAC to have flared radiators. I came across 2 engines with the same number?? A new Evo?

 and the SD70MAC

http://www.rrpicturearchives.n...cture.aspx?id=780280

 Did they scrap out the MAC and reuse the number??

Can they have two of the same road numbers?? (Different manufacturers?)

Any rules on this or just for maintenance and usage records??

 Thanks for the help.

The only reason I know about them is that was the main modern diesel in G scale from USA Trains. I've always been looking and only recently now have a couple of them. The BNSF's look faded from the sun. I guess they're getting older?? Mid 90's??

The CSX's got the flared radiators on newer models or maybe rebuilds? I figured I could modify the radiators (that's what I call them) to match the newer ones. I have an O scale Lionel that Bernie did that to and I like the look.

 So, I'd like to pick a road number to copy. I'll look at the higher numbered ones now.

here she is??

I saw 1 sd70 coming out of charottle n.c.It was by itself and looked to pulling a fair size train.I was on old monroe rd driving.One of the times I wished I had a camera.It is pretty rare to see a single unit train.
