Anyone have pictures to share of the Lionel UP/MP Heritage or UP/Rio Grande Heritage SD70ACe?

Here's the MoPac unit:

 

I'm waiting on info for the rumored scale wheel conversion kit so I can properly scalify it.

 

Rusty

"Scalify" - That's an awesome word to add to my vocabulary.  Thanks!

 

I wonder if I could use that in scrabble...

Good Day Rusty,

 

Thanks for the pictures. Your SD70ACe Mopac looks great! How is the paint job on these SD70ACe's? From the pictures I have seen on the Internet they look fantastic!

Frank

Rusty, how many those things you got?
I have 2 of the UP "build America" and the paint is flawless!
Belive it or not, one of the larger lhs called me and asked if I would pay a bit more$$ and they took a dummy, hi railed unit and scaled wheeled power chassis to build my unit.  My best guess is they had a customer wanting the 8348 shell, unpowered.
Guess who has earned my loyalty?!

Frank, way back in the Atlas form days, didn't you do a number of proposed "heritage" schemes?  Can't remember what loco.  Did Lionel come close to any of them?

Good Day John,

 

Yes, I sent many color schemes to Lionel but none were ever used. I created several NS, CSX, BNSF, CN & CP heritage color schemes. I even sent my NS Heritage color schemes to Marc L. Orton the Director Visual Communications at NS starting July 2010. Way before the NS heritage project started. I think I have over 100 color schemes that I created. I gave several color schemes to Andy from MTH at the Fort Worth show in January 2013. Time will tell if any are selected.

theres a bunch of them on youtube.. one guy compairing mth version to lionels..

There is no comparison of the Lionel/American Flyer SD70ACe to MTH.  MTH's S Scale version doesn't exist (yet.)

 

Rusty

Good Day,

 

Anyone have pictures or video of the UP/Rio Grande Heritage SD70ACe?

There is a you tube video of the DRGW heritage unit, looked as good as the MoPac IMHO.  I picked up my KCS version and can post some pictures of it if anyone is interested.

Go for it Greg! Ben

Hi Greg,

 

When time permits, please post some pictures of your KCS SD70ACe!

Frank

Good Day,

 

Thanks to everyone for post pictures, videos and links to the Lionel SD70ACe's!

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Regards,

Frank

 

Since this thread was about the UP heritage units, MP and DRGW, I've start a new thread about my KCS unit.
