Very nice dude, I just got mine today... the same air force tribute loco as yours, but without the Tsunami sound and DCC. I am planning to go with the ESU sound and DCC decoder this time around. I do have also the heritage unit like yours but with the CP script rather then the block lettering. They are very nice units, maybe even one of my all time favorite releases by any model maker.😎
@zedman6516 Ah man so it did come out with the script lettering? 🤯. I want to take mine back and get an exchange. That's the one I thought I pre-ordered.
@@Chitwn81 I don’t think they did a production run of the script this time, just the block lettering. This was from the last run… I think it was pre-2020 if I’m not mistaken.
7020 (Army Temperate Regions), 7021 (Army Arid Regions), 7022 (Navy), 7023 (Air Force), and 6644 (D-Day) are the Veterans Units. 7010-7014 got Script Lettering and 7015-7019 got Block Lettering. Also the SD70ACus were rebuilt from SD9043MACs, not SD70MACs. The SD70ACus also look more like SD70ACes and SD70M-2s in the nose more than SD70MACs.
Thanks for the clarification, I couldn't remember if they were the SD9043Macs or the 70MAC. Makes sense though seeing as the 90Mac sold poorly and nobody picked them up but UP and CP.
@@nickjohnson7191 That's sweet, I picked up 7022 and 6644 in" O" by Lionel for a wall display that I plan on putting together with a string of cars for the greatroom... I can't wait to get that done!
@Chitwn81 I do believe Athearn is doing another run of 7021 and 7022. I know they're doing that 5 pack where you can get all of them at once but I think you can get 7021 and 7022 separately as well. Don't quote me on that though.
Awesome video by the LincolnMan. Thanks from a Canadian Veteran and rail fan. Well done!

@@nickjohnson7191 correct they were shop queens for sure that’s why they converted them, my script loco is #7013
@zedman6516 I got 7010 for my Script ACu and just received 7015 for my Block ACu yesterday. I also have 7020, 7021, 7022, and 7023.

@zedman6516 very nice! I have 6644 on pre-order in HO but I won't have it until sometime in 2025.
7021, 7022, and the script lettering heritage scheme were in the last run.
Wow really? I never knew that. Yea I wanted the one with the script lettering.

When will be available the new #6644 military?
@@SuperFrecciaNera I'm not sure. I'd have to check Athearn's FB page.
Military unit not Veteran's unit
