How about Executive scheme SD70ACe's?
I was hoping they'd do some new bonnet. I love that barf bonnet, such an odd one.That would be sweet! ANYTHING is better than that horrid and freakish orange/black and that unimaginative logo!
wowsa! So are you based out NY?
I am originally from Saratoga Springs, NY. My Grandfather worked for ALCO out of SCHENECTADY, NY during the steam to diesel transition era until they joined forces with GE. Grandad was a hell of Mech. Engineer there he was one of the leading authorities on the design team for most of the locos at the plant. My dad worked for GE after Vietnam then he went with Allis Chalmers which in turn was bought out by Siemens. He retired from there last year. 40 years of service. He dealt with traction motors for some time in his career. Although my family did not work for the RR but it is in our blood for the love of trains! We built them!
And trust me they look better in real life. Wait, that doesn't sound quite right. They look better in person .... Umm I know how to say it, "The photo doesn't do them justice."What a great set of locomotives! WOW! I LOVE IT!!!!
I model the NYC because My father and grand father worked for the NYC. My 2 uncles worked for the NYC. Myself and my brother worked for the Penn Central. My brother now works for the MTA. My best friends father worked for the NYC. My best friend and his brother worked for the Penn Central. My 2 next door neighbors worked for the NYC. My other neighbor worked for the Penn Central.
That's it.

*Drool* I'm still waiting for the Tower 55 Ace to come out, I'm gonna get me the CNW, Espee, and D&RGW units at least.I do the SP , as if it still exists , although the most modern loco at this time on the SP side of the Roster is an AC6000. They did order some just before they were bought out. Never delivered. I'm dying to try the Heritage scheme on a GE EVO
