A U36B.  I say, "Dooooooo it!"  Although, if you're not a rivet counter, Atlas has indicated recently that it will release some B36-7s in SBD paint . . .

Ok, I've been having Ron help me out a bit (well, really, a lot...). If you guys can forgive 1) the 1' length difference, 2) the extra grill on the engineer's side, and 3) the difference in the battery boxes on the conductors side, then, I'll throw SBD and CSX on the run I'm planning for the next catalog. I am more than likely going to skip Conrail as a B36 as I'd rather offer a B23...  8)

DO you intend to redo the B'mann shell?  Or design from scratch?  If the later - and you do it 3D printed - I'd be in for at least 3, maybe 4.

This is the former Seaboard U36B that I want:

P.S. John, is part of the reason that you want to model SBD #5771 because one would have to be able to stutter to read the roadname on the locomotive's flanks?  If so, there's a few CSX units that you'll like even better.   ;)
