Post by: jjohns5182 on April 01, 2013, 05:37:34 PM
What the heck is this doing parked on the R-line today? (https://www.jreb.org/ns/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv679%2FTHE-PIT-MONSTER%2F380709_4278332194894_414867448_n_zps1173995f.jpg&hash=8ae5a49fff20a2a6354a4690a0e823fb241c5f24)

April fools?  CSX doesn't have a locomotive 1815 on its active roster.  Cool picture though.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice this and figure it out, that's why I kept quiet. I would make for a nice looking unit if it was black and white.

Not 100% sure... but, I do not remember CSX having ANY high hoods. Also, I am not sure... but, was any SD50/60 made with a high hood? Dan

Kudos on a good Photoshop High Hood job, its not easy to do and make look right...I have tried!

I have often wondered just how cool a SD70Ace would look with a old school high nose on it, instead of a safety cab :)

I have not figured how to do that yet. I'd imagine to do that you would have to find someway to paste a highhood cab on it over the original. I've tried and failed at putting a UP dash-8 cab on a NS SD60. I'm sure stuff like that is do-able one just had to acquire the skills.
