More Kato SD70Ace Announced

Forgive me if this is posted already, but I couldn't find it.

More Borg and BNSF Swoosh numbers, but they also are doing the KCS "Southern Belles."   ;D

I'm in for both numbers.  Two less paint projects for me to do...

Of course they are.  I never got around to finishing my half-done super-detailed Belle.  Oh well, better than just having finished it I suppose.

I'd finish it, just to have a much-needed other number, but with my luck my paint wouldn't even come close to matching Kato's and it'd look weird.  Just an excuse to wait for it to arrive I suppose.  It's Grey brother (planned on doing a pair, one Grey one Belle) is further along anyways.

They are also doing one more CSX number. Figures is a number I already used when I renumber one from the original run.

That KCS scheme is hot, saw an AC44 on CSX down in Florida and I though it was beutifull. Got to get ones, hopefully it comes out like the heritage units and not the GN BSB SD45.
Which ever side of the track I am on is the right side.

I might just have to break down and grab a KCS. That's just a cool scheme.

They say the bright color schemes sell the best, and this is proving it. I may break my moratorium (and probably my era limits) for a few of those KCS units.  And, I may move my layout back to a KC theme!

I'm going to reserve them because I think they will sell out fast (which breaks my no-reserve policy as of late).  Try finding a FVM ES44 in the Southern Belle Scheme is darn near impossible.  I managed to get a pair before they sold out.  I'll be interested to see the color match between Kato and FVM on these seeing how the BNSF colors were different.
