From a press release from Lionel:
As a railfan, this is big. Often have I been envious of UP fans with their heritage units (which simply don’t seem to come east of the Mississippi). Bob, is there any advance artwork out there yet?
I don’t think Norfolk Southern has released it yet. We did ask Lionel to send us artwork when they finalize that they are going to produce.
Sketches are on the NS website
NS Color, try this link! You’ve got to love this, something for everyone!!!

That Interstate RR would be tempting
I live in CSX territory. The closest the NS comes to me is Decatur, Alabama. I haven’t been railfanning down that way in a while. Spring is here. Hmmmm… I feel a railfan road trip coming on. What a wonderful idea I just had.

Don,
This is TERRIFiC!!!
Thank you,

Can’t wait for the PRR & CNJ paint schemes!
MTH has announced them as well.
The RailKing Norfolk Southern SD70ACe diesels will most likely be the first ones to ship since MTH has such a quick production line.

Don - Thank you for the link.
I think the PRR will look most regal in fresh tuscan.
Might have to spring for the NYC version.
Since we see NS and UP combinations quite frequently through Columbus hopefully there will be unpowered units offered so we can build some mixed consists. I already have the UP Heritage units so I would bite on some unpowered NS units.
They would be able to sell more if they offered both Powered and Un-Powered versions of the NS heritage diesels.
