Replicating a Horseshoe Curve consist I saw today . . .

Thanks Uno. I probably made a type looking up the engine type. The 1706 is a EMD SD70ACC

[Unoriginal]

Don't wanna be all nerdy here (I'm just a big NS nut, lol), but an SD70ACC would be in the 18xx series of numbers (ex 1806). I don't think any other NS engines have the 17xx series numbers?

I like how you used the academy SD70MAC in place of the leaser unit, a very creative solution!

I have no idea what is correct and what not. Was just going by this . . . https://www.railpictures.net/showphotos ... =NS%201706 , or perhaps I read the livecam incorrectly. Can't re-check because the footage is only saved for 12 hrs or so.

Probably is a typo if anything. Closer examination of the picture shows an 1806 number on the lead loco.

If anyone wants some inspiration for a consist, heres a cool one.

[Cardinal51]

Yep, you are right.

If you don't want to be all nerdy why do you keep being all nerdy?

If anyone wants some more ideas for horseshoe consists...
