Kato to produce [UP] Heritage units

[bc6]

Best news I've heard all yea., MKT & SP to start. Cant wait till PC hits the shelves.

[bbussey]

Kato is re-issuing Union Pacific heritage units.  I haven't seen any news regarding Norfolk Southern heritage units.

[Ed Kapuscinski]

It'd be nice if they do the SD70ACes, I want one of those in plain NS to go along with my CR GEVO (from FVM).

[Bob Bufkin]

I want one in Reading.

[Smike]

Really Kato? Reissues of the previous UP heritage Fleet?

That's like showing up to the republican convention with hey were selling Obama bumper stickers from 2008.

WHERE ARE THE NS HERITAGE UNITS?????  The whole nscale world is screaming for them!

Wallet is ready to take the beating!

[EspeeGoldenState]

Heck, I want NS 1030 to go with my FVM Pennsy and CR Gevos. Course the IT may be hard to pass up.

Part of the Kato newsletter you can sign up for.

Like Bryan said, there's nothing in it about NS heritage units.

I know you guys think Kato has this Western orientation, but it's a little annoying that they are re-running the UP Heritage units which you can still buy online or in some stores, but have ignored:

- SP AC4400CW
- UP Straight Radiator SD70M
- UP Tapered Nose Flared SD70M

These are extremely common locos, certainly more common than the notch nosed flares they did do for UP.  The SP AC's are sort the iconic late SP/DRGW mountain locomotive, many of them still in SP paint.

I believe everything is in place to do these models are they not?

So many models to do...  I would think they could do the variants easily off the same chasis.  While they are at it, the SD70M-2 would be helpful. and is a variant of the SD70ACe.  Train-worx has a detail kit to do it, but who wouldn't want factory units?  Go Kato!

[EspeeGoldenState]

I would take 3 SP AC4400CWs. Course anything SP I would buy.
