Back during this past summer I bought a couple of HO, CSX locomotives from an estate sale in Jacksonville. I got 2 locomotives, and a steel coil car. I was informed by a relative that the gentleman who owned these was a retired executive of CSX (headquartered in Jacksonville).
One of the locos was an Overland brass model,...
Overland Models OMI 6553.1 CSXT AC6000CW
Pretty obvious that this one was well identified.
The second loco is the problem. I can not read the bottom of this loco as it is mounted on a displace case, and there is a sticker covering the mounting screws.
I've written to that 'Mainline Models', but no reply yet.
I had one gentleman offer this......??

"The second engine is supposed to be an EMD SD70MAC according to the road number but looks like it was custom built using an SD45 shell. Trucks are correct but the shell and frame are lacking. Like trying to pass a Challenger for a Big Boy in steam terms."
