CSX SD50 models can be done with minor modifications to the LifeLike P2K SD60 model or RPP shell. Or wait for LL to do an SD50.

The NS SD50s were SD50S models, and are somewhat shorter. NS only has 6 of them. They were not pleased with them. These are not easy to do, and are never likely to appear in plastic. All of the regular NS SD50 are ex-Conrail.

C40-8W Bachmann Spectrum has done this model, and Rail Power Products has offers a plastic shell and metal frame for use with Athearn drivetrain components. All of the NS units are ex-Conrail or ex-LMX.
