This was an Athearn SP AC4400 I picked up in Feb of 2018 for $20. It was a little banged up. I painted it as SP/UP #6361. The history on the real engine is.... There was a fire on this engine which burned up the left side after the SP/UP merger. So, UP painted and decaled it as UP on the left side leaving the SP on the right side.

Wow! Interesting story and excellent modeling. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven." - Matthew 5:16
Great work! I like the fact that you used a prototype photo as a reference! Be sure to give your locomotive a nice coat of grime! Proudly keeping Tyco Pluggers out of landfills since 2016
