looks great… :D

You guys need to do a "weathered" version when you release it.

It's grey and red. Isn't that the color scheme?

Yes, that is the color scheme except that part should be gray in reality, though it was only sarcasm.

Flexcoils. Check  Most excellent SP light package.  Check   Cab number board.  Check   Joe just between you and I, won't tell anyone.:)  Is there a photo of the completed SP SW1500?  When is the expected release? May?

Looks good.

Like I've said before a number of times. I really love that you guys are doing these.

That said, I don't think the pictured horns are up to the quality of the rest of the model.

Carve and replace.  Alot of stuff is removed and replaced on an IMRC SD40/45T-2.  I am just so glad we have another source of SP stuff and of course a SW1500.  Removing anal cap now.

Whoa, that must be a relief...   :P :o

Back to the model.... :scared:.....I'm not an SP guy, but this is going to be a cool (and successful) n-scale locomotive, methinks.   Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
