These are nice units and with the broad palette of black parts, they should be decently easy to MOC.

I love the Norfolk Southern locomotives.  There's something about the logo and paint scheme that really appeal to me.

For some old-school reference, check out a NS unit that was traveling up here in the New England area a month or so ago:

I saw the same units when I went to Railfest last month.

A couple of Norfolk Southern Highnose locomotives! I saw these switching the Grain Elevator down here in Northwest Georgia. I'm thinking I may build this set of locomotives to add to my layout, but I'm not sure...

I love a good high nose diesel. These would be great to model. There's not enough NS equipment out there.

Speaking of Norfolk Southern Heritage Units it looks like they're going to painting a few with predecessor roadnames like Union Pacific did a few years ago.

There will be plenty of modeling opportunities in these. Now that I think about it Scott Wardlow has been quiet lately. Wonder if he's up to something.
