    With the release of the UP SD70 with the American flag who do you think will finally release a SD70 in N scale?

    Here is the locomotive that I'd like to buy

    Would love to see Atlas, Kato, or even Life Like do the SD70/SD75/SD70MAC's. I'm with Alan on the SD75 version though. :D That would be my preference because it would fit my BNSF in the spring of 2001 theme.
    Larry, SD75=Red and Silver, SD70MAC=Cream and Green :cool:

    As well as an SD75 in sparkling Santa Fe red and silver, one of these EMDX SD70's would be nice [​IMG]

    I'd go with Atlas since they have the SD60. I feel Kato will be tied to doing the 357 variations of the SD40-2 for some time yet. :D

    Of course, it should be available in 2 colours only - BN Grinstein Green and Cream, and EMD Leasing. ;)

    That brings up a good point: where are the other SD40-2 variations coming??? I have not heard anything else about them

    :(

    Harold.There is a drop dead easy way to have a late production Kato SD40-2.Cut the nose off of a
    snoot nose version,and a earley production version
    and interchange them.If you make both cuts at the same place,you don't even have to use glue.Piece of cake.I have several of them.Best regards.
