This was worth the wait. I have put in a MRC sound chip and it is great. This locomotive pulls car around my T-Trak traveling layout with ease and has not derailed once in 2 Shows Keep up the good work.

KATO has done its customary spectacular job in faithfully capturing the prototypes. I only question UP’s real motives for issuing these fallen flag schemes.
Having done so, UP could have done a better job in applying Katy, Western Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Rio Grande schemes that more accurately honor these great railroads.

I purchased 4 of the UP SD70ACe in the standard colors. As anticipated, these are smooth powerful locos: am currently testing them MU’d in high speed intermodal service. They replaced a lash-up of 3 SD90MAC/2SD60M on a mainline with
grades approaching 2.5% and give superior performance both uphill and down.
Nice looking, great running and cutting edge modern!

I purchased the Rio Grande Heritage & a flag UP SD70ACe, and they are really fantastic. The detail is exceptional, they run great and are up to Kato’s usual quality. I already have the other 5 heritage on order, and if they come out with the other roads that are using the SD70ACe I will buy those too. Keep up the good work Kato.

I personally have 2 locos and not only are they silk smooth, but very dependable

Usual Kato excellence. I think these will outperform the economy too. Going to buy a few and put 'em away for a rainy day.

Wow, great reviews of a great model. Now if only Kato would only release the unit in QNS&L. I’d purchase two to work my Iron ore trains.
