I have done some research and have found my favorite paint scheme, The Union Pacific “Flag”. I like this loco because of its close resiliency to the Dash 9. I have read the MR staff’s review and found that it runs well on 15" radius curves(the curves I will be using). I would like to hear from some of the people that have this locomotive. If you converted it to DCC what decoder did you use?
No 70ACE’s but have 6 of the EMD SD70M and they are fantastic. Run them on 13.75" and 15" radius curves usually in pairs with one cab forward and one cab back. Great looking and running locos. Katos are AWESOME.
