I guarantee that Southern Pacific never bought any 70ACes

@BARRIEMOREBARLOW It's modeled after the SP Heritage SD70ACe's that Union Pacific built several years ago. It's a real engine that's on the rails today. Google "southern pacific heritage SD70ACe" and look at some pics of the real engine. After that, google "Union Pacfic Heritage Series" and read UP's website page about the whole series of fallen flag SD70ACe's they did.

Whats a SD7AC3?

[esiegel76]

@Espeelover It's a secret experimental engine model that was supposed to be powered by nuclear fusion but it never worked right so the project was abandoned. Just kidding, it's a typo.

Why does the "pilot" swivel???That looks very un-prototypical...looks like a "toy"train.

[esiegel76]

@miachevydude Most 3-Rail O-Gauge trains do that. They do that so that operators can run them on tighter radius curves without them derailing. I'm not a big fan of it, but it's just part of being into 3-Rail O-Gauge trains. Some of the newer high end 3-Rail engines have fixed pilots, which looks much better.

Who me? I was just busting a joke! anyone who read that could have clicked my name and see my videos and they would see my HO SP Overland SD70ACe engine videos. I love the SD70ACe engine

Te road number is the year that the railroad joined UP. UP bought SP in 1996.

if only SP were around today.......

[BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

@esiegel76 Oh yes. I should have recognized the road number. I've been on that thing. I work for UP. Great sound effects, by the way. The air start sound is great.
