BHP Billiton SD70ACe, latest.

Revisiting this one. The scheme. The model. If not the same locomotive. Way back when. I did the first Kato ACe in N Scale as a BHP Billiton unit. Quite like this. Lacking the ever so cool Trainworx detail. Which did not arrive on the market for almost 6 months after the first model was completed. Took me a few years to receive another request to try the scheme on an ACe again. With as much detail as I could muster. These are not cheap. Most customers really like the paint. Not terribly interested in all the AU specific details. So finally, we get another chance to revisit this. Interesting in that it might appear to be lacking some details. Mainly grab irons. Not so. BHP in some thinking has removed most all grabs from their locomotives. This is representative of the latest wave. Which is to prevent people from climbing where they are not wanted. Those who need to get up top, bring a ladder I guess. Similar to the other one posted elsewhere in my album. Not the same. I thought worth sharing.
