Sorry to bother any of the people who are with NERW but is there a NERW SD70ACe or M-2 in the works? This is been a question I have had but I was to afraid to ask after the GS-4 thread.

No need to be afraid, you had nothing to do with the GS4 thread and I see no complaints or any negativity in your question here. At this time I have no time to paint and won't until the file library here is done, but Joe has been making new stuff almost daily, he just posted something new in the Any route any era thread today, I beleive that is an SD70. I am not sure what an M-2 is? Not up on all this nomenclature of trains, I just have fun with out the need of all the statistics.

An SD70M-2 is basically a DC traction motor version of the SD70ACe.

Even though tractions motors differ, there are advantages the ACe has over the M-2. You can read all about it on Wikipedia.

Looks good, but I am more prone to old black NERW locomotives. A couple weeks ago I was working up a scenario on the NERW and I kept it to NERW locomotives and stock RW rolling stock. BTW bob, Spent a few weekends here lately up there in the cold and snow and was in Greene county (Waynesburgh)for a few hours and man all the gas drilling and pipelines are unbelieveable. I was wondering if a gas production plant could be in order like to one in Westland Pa with a load out and yard.

Thats OK Joe, did you leave the names the same, folder and stuff? If so I can just replace the old with it. It does look different, but it is to far back and I keep focusing on the Blue unit.

Well. Showing your little secret to the birth of the blue unit from this um hum, CN, cough cough. Sorry. I just made the black unit look like the blue without the colors and added yellow hand rails instead of the white. That's all. No name change. I like to use black locos for NS and I change most of the NERW scenerios to use the blue locos instead of the black ones. That's just me.
