We are doing a rerun which will include some new paint schemes and some old ones. We have updated the antenna arrays and other details to reflect the engines as they are today where applicable. We will have 6 new BNSF SD70Ace road numbers and 6 new UP SD70ACe road numbers. A couple of CN SD70M-2 road names are being made and the first CN Heritage SD70M-2, the GTW. The 6 original UP Heritage locomotives are also in the line-up with new antenna arrays and and new inverter fans (except MP) UP "Spirit of Union Pacific" and "Powered by our People" are added as well as one of the EMD demonstrators. We have chosen to leave the front pilot and snow plow installed. For customers that want to couple the locomotive up front can use the supplied truck/coupler part. Just remove the pilot and change out the front truck. AZL have talked about this rerun for a long time, so when are they available? First release could be next month!  |

Can’t wait Hans! Albeit some time in the making 😀 If they are of similar quality as the SD40-2s I procured it’s gonna be another home run. BTW: Cant wait to see “The Spirit” in its full glory; sneak peak looks awesome! Keep us posted! -Tiest |

Rob - the Spirit looks absolutely stunning! So do the others but my all time favorite is out of this world. Can’t wait to put my hands on one. Thanks for wetting my appetite even more! Tiest |

Excellent ! The works prototype/demonstrator for touring round several roads to elicit sales means we can all have one “on trial”, (just about) no matter what or where we model.
Hope it sells well, and encourages you to do the equivalent in other models.
( The classic one to do, of course, would be a set of the four FT’s #103, with the dynamometer test car )
( An easy one to do, on 2nd run, would be the F7 demonstrator set #1950 in a very handsome orange and cream scheme )

Oh, and before "sombody" says anything (cough, cough) we ARE working on a locomotive project that will include the BNSF Heritage I livery.  |
