Your welcome Mike!!!
CN has the blue ones now. I personally really like the way it looks.
Mike, I have one like that in O actually 2 like that. Lionel made em
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Not a heritage unit. A properly painted "redbird" consistent with the way CB&Q painted their last units. The lionel, with all its slanted stripes and too much grey in the lower part of the body, does not count.
As Matt showed in his photo of atsf sd70ace, we are talking a paint job that assumes CB&Q is still an un-merged railroad.

Matt, I've seen the black Burlington SD90MACs, I think they are. I don't remember seeing the all-red. Have a picture of yours??

It's not quite like that and I can't find my pics so here's the one from the Lionel website

Okay, THAT one I've seen. 
It's not bad...I kind of dislike the angled stripes on the side of the shell. Just a personal preference. I would much prefer the one pictured in your post. I guess it's Frank's design? I bet his representation would look very striking on an SD70ACe.
I did say I had one like that. I like Zfranks more too but when you see the Lionel version in person it is very striking
Looks good. Close to the prototype.
I noticed that the MOPAC heritage re-issue will be here in only two months from now. If that sd70ace has great sound like this, I am going to be a very happy camper!
Between this and the thread on the SD45T-2 review, MTH seems to be upping the ante with volume on all their diesels. Great overall news!

Awesome sound. Ear-splitting horn. The chipmunks in the garage were running for cover . (Matt, you agree??)
Yeah, this loco looks incredible and sounds amazing. Great loud sound with a fair amount of base for the size and the horn rattles the windows and boy this thing smokes like its on fire
Can I just add here, politely, that I have the demonstrators and the tunnel motors just mentioned, and just issued from MTH in stock? Late July, it's like the Maytag repair guy at my place - nobody visits. I'm taking a pillow in for the coach today so at least I will get an afternoon nap.
I got this baby yesterday to match

Very nice Matt! I have that blue/yellow combo in a dummy unit. Yours look very striking in that display!
I've got the blue and silver one too but it's in the closet
