If you made the curves by yourself then they are just fine. I don't think anyone would complain about it. I can't see anything wrong with it

It would seem there was a celebration act back in May 2015 in Altoona:

This is the blue livery for Veteran's Day: !!howdy!!

The blue loco is another SD60E.

Just an additional note: 911 is not being used by NS as a road ID number for any of their locos.

The SD70MAC from the SD70pack3 but i am thinking about redoing it with the academy one with flashing ditch lights, when this is released do you mind if i use this for the my new veterans unit as a guide?

i know what it looks like because i've seen it three times, i've started one but i am going to redo it and use the academy loco like sibell's uses because it has flashing ditch lights and dim-able lights. I know it's a SD60E but we don't have one YET Digital Train Model and TheLocoShop is making one, but it's nice to have some freeware locos in case we can't fork over some money quite yet (plus it's going to be awhile before it's done)
