No true NS SD70Ace repaint

[nssd80mackid]

I was thinking about this before. We truly don't have an SD70Ace in the normal NS scheme, unless you count the heritage units. Yes, you can use the SD70M-2 and change the numbers around, but both units have their differences. NS didn't put an AC unit on the Ace whereas the M-2 had one. The Ace also has two large panel covers with grilles behind the cab on the conductor side, while the M-2 just has panels. Maybe someone can tackle this project, unless someone already did and I looked over it.

The reason I believe no one has tried this is because of the dynamic numbers. The numbers on the HU pack are built for a specific locomotive. Yes some are in the proper location but the placement between each number maybe too far a part. Thus making it look weird In my opinion. There is a NS 1111 repaint in the file library.

Fair enough. Appreciate the info!
