Looks like Scott posted a picture of the EMD Demo version of the model….While this is a SD7, only thing I question is if Scott will be using the correct style pilot for the SD9's.  I'll shoot him an email.  I believe the step area was different on the SD9's, at least from photo evidence I have reviewed on google images.

Can't wait to get my Southern SD9 units.  These look like they're going to be good.

These look awesome! can't wait for my cb&q sd9 to arrive. Hopefully soon we will get a close up picture of the cab detail. 

Though it's true that real world equipment dawns a lovely and shiny appearance, at least when fresh, I don't believe glossy finishes translate particularly well into scale modeling. Fine details tend to be overwhelmed and muddied as a result of high reflectance and related anomalies. An example may well be Scott's magnificent 'Train of Tomorrow' (a personal favorite) as almost crossing the line being too shiny. I do, however, find high gloss finishes to be very pleasing and a desirable attribute in tinplate. It lends itself to the toy-like qualities so regarded by enthusiasts and novice alike. Obviously, tinplate makes no attempt as a true representation of a prototype, whereas scale models, at whatever level of success, strive to achieve such goals entirely.

In for 2 or 3 Southern SD40-2's.  Don't think there I will splurge for a Southern ACE3000 though since its I'm pretty sure its imaginary and I rather have 3 prototypical SD40-2's.

 

David, Tried to respond to your e-mail but was rejected. All of the ACE 3000's are fictitious as the prototype was never built, but was closer to becoming a reality than many may think. Potential road names will be CSX, NS, BNSF, etc.
