You are correct on both counts, from what I've heard.

Demonstrator locomotives ! At last ! What a good idea, as we can all have one on test, whether or not our favourite road ended up buying any. Perhaps on 2nd run of F7, the #1950 demonstrator set in orange and cream could be scheduled ? Shame there wasn’t a GP30.

We will start to release these two runs early March. Not sure about the release schedule yet since we are in the middle of the SD40-2 releases.

Florida East Coast…? Tacoma Rail…? Vermont Railway…? Nope. Nope. Nope. Maybe next time. ..... but we are doing a re-run of the ES44AC (GEvo) locomotives too! There should be a quote on the radiator for this scheme. Guess mine won’t be the only one in Z scale anymore. 😭 I can’t find a better photo but it is hiding in the top corner of this photo.

These locomotives look amazing and everything that is coming out soon. Would there be a chance that AZL will make a T4 GEVO and T4 SD70aCe in the near future?

We cannot use ES44AC chassis for the ET44AC (T4). The locomotives were lengthened to accommodate a different cooling system and a larger cab hood. Believe the SD70ACe T4 version is longer than the regular SD70ACe as well.

Believe the SD70ACe T4 version is longer than the regular SD70ACe as well. That makes sense. Any chance of doing the ES44DC or ES44C4? The latter is extremely common on BNSF, and I think would mainly just be a matter of changing some details on the trucks.

Will these locos have the new or the old chassis/pcb board. I want get a head start in locating decoders but don't want to buy something I can't use. Thanks!

SD70Ace, ES44AC, H1, .... you guys are making the idea of a Z-scale Tehachapi layout seem *very* appealing!
Edit: Not to forget the SD40-2 and Tunnel motors!
