SD70ACE

This model was built with no measurements available at the time except by having to count doors and measuring lengths on the walkway. The walkway is made from two kato sd70mac shells and it will also give the light bar to the ditch lights.

The cab was built from previous measurements of the sd90 project with the addition to the added downward slop to the the front of the nose. The long hood had to be basicaly done with hours counting doors, and drawing pictures until felt ok with the length.

The rear louvers were scratch built from placing .010 styrene strips on a piece of .010 sheet styrene and cut to 2/32 lengths with 2/32 spacing, the bottom grill is .040 x .060 strips as the outside and .020 x .030 strips in the middle with K&S etched brass mesh behind it. The front grilles behind the conductors seat are from SD40T-2 etched grilles.
