Kato UP 4015 Excursion and UP 1979 SD70Ms

Email this morning from TW taking preorders saying Kato is doing the two SD70Ms.

UP 1979 is the "We Are ONE" SD70M and the UP 4015 is the PTC unit that was used with 4014 this year. Silver trucks and green nose anti glare paint.

Saying special run limited availability and will not be rerun according to Kato.

Can't find anywhere else yet also confirming the pair.

Attempting to model a modern Southern Pacific based in 2015/2016...

Also, I have a passenger train addiction...

Hogtrainz has the same two up for pre-order. Kato announcements seem to come from shops a couple of weeks before they show up on Kato's website. I would bet that it's legitimate. I'll be reserving the 4015 at my local shop sometime this week.

I have been anxiously awaiting a UP #1979. Glad to see it’s finally coming.

They are up on Nscale supply also. There is also two more NS straight SD70M and one more new UP SD70M 4364 plus 1979 and 4015.

So with heritage SD70m 4015 means the big boy is coming.

Which ever side of the track I am on is the right side.
