MOC EMD SD70Ace UP 1111 "Powered By Our People"

[Barduck]

Introducing the LEGO model inspired by the Union Pacific 1111 "Powered by our People" locomotive, which pays tribute to the employees of Union Pacific in their different roles they assume in the company.

This is actually the model I started designing first when doing my latest SD70Ace line

 

There are some parts that are not genuine LEGO but from GoBricks, as LEGO doesn't produce those parts in Bright Light Blue (yet). Because of that this model will not be available on Rebrickable but will be produced as a set by GoBricks exclusively.

I've done the decals myself, it was near to impossible to find decent pictures of the graphics that were usable so I ended up ordering a decal set for a G-scale model and shrunk and adapted them to fit the model.

As is noticeable in the pictures, the dynamic brake intake is completely see-through, achieved with the Slope 18 2 x 1 x 2/3 with Grille.

Even the cabin door and access door to the inside of the train was added.

Battery cover can be taken off to provide easy access to the Buwizz hub which is used to powered the two train motors.

Well done! I was surprised to see the red strip go down the middle of the roof, expect that was covered by soot soon.

Really nice @Barduck. Impressive work!

Great work! You captured a very detailed prototype quite well. Though as for the prototype, I don't know about the slogan, potentially a little too Soylent for my tastes (grin)
