![]() WABASH (will also need larger decals to hide some stuff)ĭepending on livery the models have 2200 to 2300 parts in them, are 66 studs long and 37 plates high (from top of rail to top of cabin). SD70Ace Virginian by Barduck12, on Flickr Virginian (NS heritage) (will need decals on the 2圆 tiles that hide the Buwizz 2.0) I intend to build at least the UP version for myself and then decide between the BNSF or the Virginian for a second, won't be doing all 9 myself.Ĭonrail (I know they didn't have SD70Aces in their line up but what's not to like)Ĭanadian Pacific #7021 Desert Sand (which is actually an SD70ACU) With the design in that livery ready I then began changing her in to 9 other liveries and those are the ones I'm showing here today. At that time I was just chatting with someone from and decided to do a livery that would be unbuildable in genuine LEGO because of the colors used (bright light blue mostly and there's not much available in that color) so my initial design would become an exclusive for them (actually waiting on the parts to arrive to test build that and to see how decals can be done but that's another story for another time as she is still a secret). It was going to work and all I had to do was choose the initial livery. The end result for that tinkering was this:Īnd I knew I had to test build it first as there are a few things I wasn't really sure about if it would workĮven there I changed a few things later to give it a smoother look. I had done a nose for a SD90MAC-H and wanted something in the same style, but obviously without the door. If I could get a good looking nose, I figured the rest would go easy. So, my eye dropped on my old SD70 version and I was thinking "not going to rebuild that, better redesign her" and thus I started by choosing which SD70 version I'd want to do and settled on the Ace.įirst start was slow, I had the basic floor from the older model that I lengthened by 2 studs and then started tinkering with a nose setup. My last "recent" diesel was the ES44AC line I did and since then I haven't done any new other more recent diesel engines, that's mainly due to the M10005 and it's coaches that I've done (and still need to finish 4 to complete that consist). With the build of the Union Station being at a halt for the moment (some other things that take precedence) and having a bit of a designers block since the start of the year (as in really not finding engines I wanted to try and build) I started looking on my own Flickr account at the locomotives I used to own (used too but lost in the fire in 2020), just thinking if I'd actually would rebuild one. ![]() Ages ago (or so it feels like) in 2016 I posted my build of an SD70 on this forum:
