Hi All-
I was wondering if anyone knew of any Union Pacific SD70M that are painted in the "Building America" scheme and do NOT have flared radiators. This means that they have to be in 4000-4709. Are there any numbers within that range that are painted in this scheme besides: 4546, 4527, 4528?

Any help would be appriciated, I am trying to renumber one of Athearn Genesis's UP SD70M.
 


Before some of the former SP units were repainted into the "Flag" scheme, there were only 3 non-flared 70Ms with that paint job. Numbers 4526, 4527, and 4528. These units were the "test bed" for the scheme. From what I've been told, the flag on these 3 units is slightly different than the one used on current paint jobs.

The only other non-flared units with the flag will be in the 3974-3999 number series. Those are the former SP units, and as mentioned, many of those are being (or have been) repainted in the flag scheme.
