The Athearn probably will.  RPP frames are pretty plain and generic, you could probably adapt most shells to fit.

RPP also has SD90mac shells.

Hello All,

Contact Bruce directly at PNR and ask him about compatibility.

I've had great dealings with him.

Often times some modification of the shell is necessary to fit particular manufacturers' frames.

I bought a GP30-B shell from him. It slid right on the Bachmann GP30 frame with no modification. I did need to make some slight modifications to "fuel tank" for a seamless fit.

He has a Facebook site if you are on FB. That might be a faster way to contat him and get the opinions of previous customers.

Hope this helps.

"Uhh...I didn’t know it was 'impossible' I just made it work...sorry"

PNW Resins has some.  Take a look at their selection.

Also click on "Cabs", they have a few SD70AC's.
