Nice job. Looks like you got the right model GE locomotive. Who is the manufacturer of that model? 

The GE ES44AC is an intermouintain model

Very nice work.

 

Here is one I did a while back. Had to do it twice as they changed the nose art just after I got the decals on.

Parts:

It is I who worded my response less than diplomatically  It was not meant as a criticism.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I know that there are ten GE ES44AC locomotives and ten EMD SD70ACe locomotives in the Norfolk Southern Heritage fleet. I was just referring to the Lehigh Valley Locomotive. I guess I worded the sentence wrong.

That looks very nice, parts.  On a somewhat similar note, I gotta a quick glimpse of the Wabash unit, as it roared through downtown yesterday afternoon.  Still waiting/hoping to see the NYC lightening stripe. Big Smile

Actually half of them were ES44AC locomotives, and half were EMD SD70ACe.  The Lehigh Valley unit was, indeed, an ES44AC, and you did a great job on it.

Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit Tribute
Posted by parts323 on Thursday, December 13, 2012 7:00 AM



Hey guys, I got tired of waiting around for the the N.S. Heritage locomotives to be produced in HO scale, so I built one myself. I got a free Broadway Limited, undecorated AC6000 and decided to turn it into a Heritage locomotive. I know the real locomotives are ES44AC's, but this is just a tribute, or fantasy locomotive. So what does everyone think?
