AMERICAN Z LINE October 2018 New Releases SD70M and SD75i Upgrade Program AZL is excited to bring back our first run of SD70M and SD75i locomotives. Originally released starting in 2006, these locomotives brought modern 6-axle North American locomotives to the rails. The locomotives have been sold out for many years. We have had quite a few requests to re-release the original variants. Using original shells that we had on hand, AZL has upgraded these locomotives and can now offer a very limited run of each of the first run ofl road names. The rebuilt SD70Ms and SD75is feature a new chassis (as used in the 2014 run of SD70Ms and SD75is), new trucks, AZL’s standard PCB, upgraded directional controlled LEDs and AutoLatch TM couplers. Our second release in BNSF in the heritage II ‘pumpkin’ paint scheme. Two road numbers are available: 6106-1 BNSF SD75i 8289 Heritage II 6106-2 BNSF SD75i 8292 Heritage II Supplies are very limited. 1937 40’ AAR Boxcars – Atlantic Coast Line A runner pack, two-pack and single car is being released. 904301-1 ACL 1937 40´ AAR Box Car 20344 Single 904371-1 ACL 1937 40´ AAR Box Car 20187, 20190 Two-pack 914301-1 ACL 1937 40´ AAR Box Car 20185, 20186, 20332, 20341 Set See the American Z Line sites for more information on these and other AZL products. www.americanzline.comwww.azldirect.comRob Kluz Ztrack Distribution

Do these reissued BNSF units have a brighter, deeper orange paint than the newer ones? The photos look different.

It could be the lighting on the photo. But these were made by two different manufacturers so some paint color differences is too be expected. Here is the image of the SD75M that is still in stock: There are some real differences between the original release and the units still in stock. First the original release were SD75i and the subsequent release were SD75M. You can see the difference on the cab and lack of the isolation seam. Another visual difference is the rear vent. It is green on the SD75Ms. Rob
