The Rapido HO Scale EMD SD70MAC Diesel Locomotive – BNSF Executive Scheme w/ Swoosh Patch #9625 (DC/DCC/Sound) is a premium HO scale model representing one of the most distinctive locomotives from the BNSF transition era. Combining the classic Burlington Northern Executive paint scheme with a BNSF “Swoosh” patch, this locomotive captures the real-world evolution of railroad branding during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Modeled as road number 9625, this locomotive reflects the period following the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe merger, when SD70MAC units retained their original BN colors while receiving updated BNSF markings. These patched locomotives became a defining visual element across western railroads, especially in heavy-haul freight service.
BNSF Executive Patch – Transitional Era Authenticity
The Executive Scheme with Swoosh Patch represents a real-world repainting approach where locomotives were partially updated rather than fully repainted. This results in a unique appearance that adds depth and realism to any HO scale diesel roster.

Ideal for Transition-Era HO Scale Layouts
The HO Scale SD70MAC BNSF #9625 is ideal for modelers focused on the late 1990s and early 2000s, when patched locomotives and mixed paint schemes were common throughout BNSF operations. These units add realism, variety, and historical accuracy to diesel rosters, especially in coal and heavy-haul service.
