UP's New SD90Mac #8555

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Does anyone out there know if UP’s new SD90Mac #8555 is a real 6000 Hp unit?
& If any model company will be producing a run of them?

Same with the new GM SD70ACe unit. Does any US Railroad have any yet?

Thanks heeps.

it appears to ba a 6000hp unit due to the angled hood and the designation as a SD90AC. i think www.seprotomodels.com is planning on making the new cab style, but you will have to add it to a Kato or RPP shell and add the angled hood and dual exhaust stack. Athearn has the RPP molds so maybe we’ll see SD90’s from them some day.

i think the the SD70ACe’s are still being tested. i dont know if any orders have ben placed. but someone over on the trains forum should know.

Yeah Thas the one i Saw. Looks Damn Good to to me.
I just hope that Athearn Gen brings the SD90 And SD70ACe out.
Kato Is Good, But Too Damn Expensive after you convert to Australian Dollars.

Thanks Heep Again You Helped a lot.

Take note that all true SD 90s don’t have this ugly cab; many have the same as the SD 90/43s have.
