MRL Kato SD70ACe's Coming Soon

According to Hobby Search (1999jp) looks like Kato is going to do a pair of MRL units. Maybe its just me, but find it quite ironic that with MRL disappearing this year, that they are releasing these.

176-8530 #4400
176-8531 #4401

Also looks to be two new BNSF Nose headlight units

176-8526 #8526
176-8527 #9079

Two new UP numbers with nose headlights as well as a new run of UP 1943

176-8528 #8962
176-8529 #8983

It might be ironic, but I would venture a guess that majority of models released by manufacturers are decorated for railroads which no longer exist.

I'm in trouble. I love the Kato SD70ACe's, and I've been patiently waiting for this match.

There was a old Kato poster with that MRL scheme, good for them to finally make them is a good looking scheme.

Years ago FVM made MRL SD70s and I seem to remember them selling out very quickly. I'm glad to see Kato doing these smaller road schemes.

It's been quite a while, but Kato did release a pair of I&M Rail Link SD40's in HO. Had to grab those for my HO switching layout.

I wonder who pushed for that.  😂

Thank you Charlie
