I have not seen one yet. I have been looking for one for one of my custmores he would like 1 of all of the units.
I did talk to my contacts at Micro Scale in January and there are no plans to make decal set.
Until there is a model they can not make a set. They need the diemisions to make sure the set would fit on the model.
Now my info is about 5 months old so if something has happened since then please let me know.

Josh, what are those OMI units going for??
They went for $960 when OMI had them in stock, which was about 30 seconds. They are really tough to find for sale although you can occasionally find one on e-bay. Seems like somewhere around $1500 is the going price. Yes, it would be nice if Athearn came out with one we could afford.

I saw a train in Nebraska that had several Heritage engines. Looks like UP is doing more then just a few of them, I was to far away to see what they were but I could tell that they were of the Heritage line.

Maybe Kato will paint their SD90 in the heritage scheme like the O scale ones.
I hope Athearn will release the ACe and M-2. I'd love some for my railroad! And CP may be getting some finally too!
yea i had read cp was testing some of bnsf's ace's. But i've also read that the crews dont like them.
and kato did heritage loco's?

No. Williams O scale painted SD90's in the heritage schemes. Kato could do the same to make a quick buck. But I hope not!
Oh, and for the rich folks here, OMI Brass UP 1983 is up on ebay right now. $1305.00 with four days left... wonder how high it will go?
BNSF dude
BNSF foamer
Crews and mechanics on CP don't like any EMD...
