SD70ACe

[UP1989]

Very, very nice looking loco indeed, and a DRGW livery as well, that's made me happy.

Thanks to everyone at RS Towers.....

Cheerz. Transport Steve.

I am really happy that we are getting the DRGW livery too. I am so excited for the release of this engine!!!!!!!!!!!

what RR's own these beauties?

There are a lot of railroads that own these amazing locomotives. BNSF and Union Pacific of course own a large number of these engines. If you go to this website and scroll down there is a chart towards the bottom that shows which railroads own which types of SD70's.

Another pic of SD70ACE on Cajon. Numbers are still wrong but it's a WIP and RS.com promised to fix this till the release:"It's not ready for release yet, John. The numbers are currently dynamic, but will be loco-specific on release later this month."

Cab from the outside: "Another hard day putting the SD70ACe through its paces before launch! Still work to do, but it's getting there..."

Some guys on Facebook have mentioned it already: the windows need to be darker, the numberbords need to be illuminated

Wow, 100th reply!

Darker windows? WTH? Come on. The number boards lighted I can understand. Minor issue. They forgot to complain about the wiper blades missing. Gimme a break. I'll take this loco as is. Gray has done a fantastic job.

[SCLALINE]

the wiper blades are there, Great Job!!!!!

the wiper blades are there, Great Job!!!!!

Oops, I could swear they weren't there this morning. Or I didn't look close enough. Suppose I'm used to wipers on cars being horizontal, trains are verticle.

Some more photos of the SD70ACe. 9 days until the release!!!!!!!!!

Bloody, you were a bit faster than me.
Nice work, I can only say nice work with that loco.

[SMMDigital]

Nice.

First thing i'm going to do with mine is hack the Tg file, put a nice big simulated blob of simulated black paint over the UP emblem on the front and the flag on the side. Then i'm going to put a black box under the numbers, then the word "For Lease" in red spray paint fonts. Then, I can run it with my other NORFOLK SOUTHERN units and it will look right at home. :)

Today, I'm the fastest :"Another day in the saddle! Just time for a few more trips in the SD70ACe before it goes up for sale on 19 November."
