Is that a correct color ? I am aware of the Yellow, Red, Blue. and Black, did not know that the NS did an Orange. The colors represent the NS shop that did the rebuild, the Black is the manufacture's rebuild.

Yeah, that color is way off from the prototype as posted by WRAWROACX.

The color is the least of the problems with this engine.  The prototype started out life as an SD70M not a 70Mac.  So, most of the long hood still resembles a 70M not a 70Mac.  It now sports a cab nose and an AC inverter box that more closely resembles an SD70Ace.  This offering screams of no effort. None. 

Which leaves me asking yet again, why no SD70M?  Never released in PS3.  Just saying. 

I am happy to see the return of the CP Holiday Train in Premier.  Thank you MTH. 

I also like the “stainless plating” that they do. 

The Premier steam section leads me to believe they are trying to burn through existing inventory, as most (or all?) is available today.  The Premier steam is very nice.  

So for me, the CP Holiday Train box car set, C&NW AC4400 and maybe the SD40-2 in BNSF patch.

I give this catalog a C grade.  I hope everything is okay at MTH.
