I love the fantasy schemes especially on 90s and 80s! Buying the BN! Next round of ac44s I would love to see a Conrail painted ac44 as they were interested in them but the split stopped it.
I'll say it again. The BN SD90MAC should be in Grinstein or, as some call it, "executive scheme" even though the executive fleet has a white roof. Anyway, that cream and dark green would have been a better option for a modern MAC build. Fingers crossed for SD80MAC I guess. 🤞😅
@AthearnModelTrains honestly, this is theoretically 2 fantasy schemes rolled into one locomotive! A "what if Burlington Northern owned SD90MACs?" and 2, "What if BN never adopted the "executive scheme?", it's a neat concept (and the cascade green and black just looks so cool on this locomotive), but it would cool seeing what these would look like in the executive scheme too!
Hello Charles, yes we have new N scale projects in the works and the newest Athearn Genesis N scale ACF 2970 covered hoppers have just hit store shelves. ~ Jim
Thanks for the comment. Yes that is certainly plausible, but maybe in the alternate universe, management went back to the Cascade Green. We may just run these in the future in the green and cream.
Hey Nathan, Athearn has responded to you many times here and on social media platforms that we don't give dates on long term projects. Repeatedly asking the same questions over and over again will flag as spam and get comments removed. Be patient, Athearn is working on a lot of projects right now and we'll post about them when Product Development is ready.
Very cool, Jim! Really like seeing BN colors on that SD90MAC!
Thank you Randell, we are glad you like it!
Good evening Jim looking forward to the next few weeks of releases
Hello Michael, thank you! We have some great releases on the way! ~ Jim

Yeah, we thought of that and we do that in the future but we decided on Cascade green for this run.

One of the tell, tell signs of a SD90MAC verses SD90MAC-H locomotive is the slant engine hood on the SD90MAC-H locomotive...
Correct.
High Greens Jim Good Nite
Have a good one Charles! ~ Jim
Hey Good Evening Jim is going to be some new N scale Release Projects on the way

Personally I would think the BN would have ordered the SD90MAC in the same green & cream they ordered the SD70MAC in.
