BNSF SD70ACe #9037
I finally finished this SD70ACe after it sat on my work bench
for a few months. I started it back around Christmas, just
never got around to finishing it until today. The hardest
part was getting the decals to line up because of the separate
pieces for the cab and long hood. Microscale decals for
this project were compiled from a Santa Fe F45 and BNSF SD75M
decal set. I also added a Digitrax DN163K1C decoder to
finish off the project. At some point, I'll also add
sunshades, Mu Cables, and Trainline hoses. I'll also add
some light weathering to the trucks and fuel tank areas.
