BHP Billiton SD70ACe Isolated cab locomotives are due to arrive in Muncie in April.  In just a week or two Overland Models will be sending out pick-up notices to our dealers.  As of this point only a couple of reservations are available for the OMI #AA-1601 locomotives which are locomotives built to BNSF specifications and with BNSF orange and silver paint with white BHP lettering.  In this same group are 3 other BHP SD70ACe units with one in the more traditional BHP 'Bubble' scheme, OMI #AA-1604.

The image shown below is from Rick Schonfelder. The unit operates only in a trailing position since it does not have any of the BHP modificiations applied to the locomotive.  This locomotive would be perfectly matched with any Overland Models BHP SD70ACe or BHP AC6000CW.  OMI #AA-1601 BHP #4324, 4327, 4330, 4331.  Total production for OMI #AA-1601 units is 19 units.

Only 1 each of road number #4330 & 4331 available for open reservation.

The image below is an Overland Models image of a BHP SD70ACe Isolated Cab unit with the full and typical BHP paint scheme and details.  Items such as nose and tail marker lights, additional piping on the pilot, additional roof detail applications, fire suppression system, and the addition of a 2nd row of railing for safety.  OMI #AA-1604 BHP #4335, 4338, 4339, 4341, 4346.  Total production for OMI #AA-1604 units is 46 units.

We are accepting Stand-by reservations only.

Our friend Richard 'Toad' Montgomery caught #4332 which was the unit selected to have an apparatus applied to the cab roof to test clearance throughout the system prior to all modifications being made.  OMI #AA-1608 BHP #4332 only. Total production for OMI #AA-1608 unit is 10 units.

We are accepting Stand-by reservations only.

The image below shows a completely modified SD70ACe from the former BNSF series.  Here you can see the marker lights, cab window protection, step well protection, additional railing, and fire protection system installed..  With these modifications completed by EDI Rail of Australia the locomotive is now ready for chores in a lead position.  OMI #AA-1609 BHP #4333 only. Total production for AA-1609 units is 10 units.

We are accepting Stand-by reservations only.
