SD75 Models?

[thecanadianrail]

Ahem......the sd75 is more directly aimed at the CANADIAN part of the market....seeing as cn owns almost all of the 75I's, and i see a whole pile of them every time i go by the main line. Why does it alwayse gotta be a us specific loco? I remember hearing all the fuss when they made the widecab sd40 because it wasnt american. I personaly wanted a 75I more tham the 70 because i see more 75's in the first place. But yeah i know what u mean by the onslaught of amtrak stuff. One different thing in a while is a good thing, and the 75 will appeal or should to all westerners and canadians because thats where this loco is based. Makes sence, they did way too many eastern stuff the past few months, its nice to have a western based loco now. P.s. check the stats of who actualy owns this type of loco, there are actualy more than u think!

Still missing out on all us southeastern folks though. Western and northeastern content we have, but what about some good ol roads in NC, SC, GA, TN, etc? RSC hasn't made any routes or even much content for NS, SOU,etc, and none for CSX!

Yea we need CR, CSX, and NS stuff, BNSF, CN, and UP things are plentiful.

Well the main problem is that as far as I know, RSC STILL does not have a license from CSX so they can't use the CSX name or any road names that they own (CR, CO, BO, WM, NYC, Chessie System, SBD, SAL, SCL, PLE).

Back on the SD75, well my ATSF fleet wouldn't be complete without them so it's a must purchase for me.

[NS9030]

What abiut NS? NS owns more of CR than CSX does.

[ATSF3814]

What abiut NS? NS owns more of CR than CSX does.

Yes they do but it was still a joint purchase and CSX still owns 42% of Conrail. So I'm pretty sure RSC would need permission from both companies if they wanted to produce anything Conrail.

(...)Niche locomotives that fit just one geographic area or railroad? What a waste. What happened to the locomotive building program over there? In early 2011, RSC was hitting home runs with the SD70, SW1500, and GP9 - locos that just about all RR's used and can still be found today. Then the well went dry. AEM-7? Nice for the 10 million people along the NEC but what about the other 310 million of us? GG1 and K4? Outdated, and again confined to one particular RR or area. Now the SD75. Looks a lot like a 70MAC, were as popular as crotch warts, and the last time I saw one on a prototype was ohh, two weeks from never. And the F40P? I've seen one in my whole life and it was dead heading to a scrap yard.

With all due respect, Sir, but one should not judge others by one's own standards.
I for my part really look forward to these two upcoming locos. And that although I haven't seen any of them in my lifetime and I obviously don't live where they are in service.
While I certainly understand the desire for locos one has seen with one's own eyes and one is used to and has grown to appreciate, I also wish to have other types of locos, mybe not so common at first notion.
And then, an F40PH? I think that this is/was as a very common type seen all over the US and Canada. You can't say that this is a niche loco and i dare to say that the SD70 is one either.

However, some more common types would be nice to have as well. I'd especially like to see CSX on the roaster in the future.

Just my

I could have swore that this was said to be released on the third (3) some time ago.....havent heard anything about it yet?????

[robbit]

Yes it was stated that but I asked about it on their Facebook page a bunch of times yesterday and they finally responded that it was penciled in for the coming few weeks and would let us know when they do

[ArcticCatZRT]

Thats RSC for you, honestly I wish they would just announce a release date when they know they would be able to release it, not this whole guessing games constantly.
