Do Demo units exist for N Scale?

Just a quick question as I'm researching my options.

I noticed that HO has quite a number of Demo units but so far in N scale the only thing I've been able to find is an Atlas Electro-Motive.

Am I missing some?

 

Micro-Trains did their FT in the Demo paint.

I think Atlas did the FM Trainmaster in demonstrator colors in the second release and the Alco C-628 too.

 

The E-R Baldwin Sharknoses were done in BLW Demo colors.
Also the Life-Like FA-2 in ALCO green demo (later sold to the C&NW).
BLI just released the AC6000 in two demo schemes and I think Fox Valley had GE-something modern in demo as well.

Atlas C-628 Alco demo

Atlas Dash 8-40C GE demo

Atlas RS-11 Alco demo

Atlas SD-60 EMD demo

BLI Centipede Baldwin demo

Intermountain FT Electro-Motive demo

Kato ES44AC GE demo

Like-Like GP-20 GM/Electro-Motive demo

Like-Like PA/PB Alco-GE demo

 

I have an Atlas GP-7 EMD demo loco.

 

LifeLike did their SD7, SW8 snd I believe the earlier SW9 in demonstrator paint.

 

I have to say that is more than I thought.

Taking DCC/Sound/Smoke out of the equation who made the highest quality most well made Demo units in N scale?

 

One vote for the Kato GE ES44AC.

 

Life-Like did the EMD GP60 demo.

 

Atlas/Roco did a foobie demonstrator about 40 years ago, they painted their FA1 in the scheme used on an FA2

 

I have a N-SCALE LIFE LIKE SD7 / 9 in EMD Demo colors and a few other locos in demo colors.

I think LifeLike also did E8s and Kato did an SD40-2 a long time ago.

Funny you should mention it. Two of my first engines were Atlas SD45 demos. That was 46 years ago.
I still have them.

 

I forgot that I have a ATLAS / mehano made EMD SD45 in demo colors.

I’ve got:

Micro Trains - FT ABBA demo set. Didn’t Intermountain also do the Demo set?
Atlas - Trainmaster
Atlas - SD60 - Think I do yet! Or it’s the Oakway Lease unit I’m thinking of!
LifeLike - SD7/9
LifeLike - GP60

 

The Kato SD40-2 isn't a demo, but an EMD Lease unit. Which was a former Rock Island unit. Don't think EMD ever did demo units for the SD40-2s

 

Kato also made a Budd demonstrator RDC-1.

 

Atlas/Rivarossi SW1500/SW1200 (circa 1971) Cow and Calf Units GM Demo

Atlas/Mehano SD45 (circa 1969 - 1972) EMD Demo

Atlas GP-30 (February 2008 Retooled Chinese Release) EMD Demo

 

Not Atlas, but I believe Walthers may have used that tooling.

 

So for now is the Kato GE ES44AC the highest quality Demo unit in N Scale?

I've taken a look at what was suggested and so far this seems like the winner simply based on aesthetics. There doesn't seem to be many modern demos released in the last 5-10 years.
