Athearn Genesis 2.0 G75712 HO Scale SD70ACe BNSF 8597

The lowest-numbered SD70ACes on the BNSF roster (and some of the newest), these units were built with 6-step walkways instead of 5 steps which had been standard in earlier production runs. Equipped with BNSF-style PTC antennas, they will be right at home on any late era BNSF roster.
