Gentlemen,
First let me thank Rich for his excellent review of Lionel's
new SD70ACe model.
Now, regarding the location of the headlights on the prototype
it appears that both BNSF and UP have some locos with the headlights
in the lower position and some with them in the higher position.
This can be verified by checking the wonderful website at
www.rrpicturearchives.net
which has photos of both types.
Most of BNSF's locos do seem to have the lights in the lower position
but their (latest?) batch, with Numbers 9370-9399 have them in the
higher position - as per the Lionel model.
It's maybe a wee bit unfortunate that the model is inaccurate for
Loco #9344 but it's not a serious fault - IMHO.
So . . . Well done Lionel !
Pete Molloy.
