On the Trainworld Virtual show tonight, Ryan said that Lionel would be announcing a new diesel in the next couple of days. There was a teaser shadow image of what appeared to be an SD70Ace body. Could it actually be new tooling of the SD90MAC to SD70ACU conversions? That would allow the correct SD70ACU models of the CP Heritage and Military engines as well as NS ACUs. This would be good given the MTH 2020 catalog choice of the SD70Ace model for those engines.

It may not be a diesel....... Or it could be 4646 a Biden locomotive? He never said it was a diesel.
I went back and looked at the video and by the background being an American flag and the silouett looks definitely like a SD70Ace, I would say it is going to be a 4646. Will see I guess. I would like to see the Canadian Pacific military units myself.
Could it be the Air Force One SD70ace from METCA?

It looks pretty sharp.
