Another of Paul DeRouen's masterpieces built for and proudly owned by Co-Webmaster Tom Carter, this model of CCT 70 started life as a Life-Like Proto 2000 GP7 and was reworked with scratchbuilt drip gutters on the cab roof, MU hoses, sand and brake lines, and other assorted detail parts to represent CCT 70 as she appeared during its debut on the CCT on February 10, 1976. Paul also added a working strobe light, micro bulb headlights and a Digitrax DCC decoder set up to recognize the long hood as being the forward, or "A" end, just like on the prototype. Many hours were spent reliving childhood memories on the Sacramento Modular Railroaders HO layout with the new model in November of 2001, where these photographs were taken upon delivery of this beautiful model. Thanks again Paul!

This model of CCT 70 is an Atlas N Scale model custom built for a gentleman in Arizona. It was purchased along with an N Scale model of CCT 60 and CCT 24. This model has been fitted with a Digitrax DZ163 DCC Decoder. Model is now owned by David Epling
