N Exclusive Repainted "Patch" and Superdetailed Locomotives

Detail photos; click for high-resolution images

Each locomotive in this series has been superdetailed with painted safety railings, step edges, fuel tank details, and more. Patch locomotives are (in the real world) locomotives which are put into service under a new railroad but haven't gotten a full repaint; most "patch kits" are exactly what they sound like, a vinyl "patch" that is stuck onto the side of the locomotive.

Both the ex-SP (UP) SD70M and CSX SD70M (Superdetailed version) have had cab sunshades installed in addition to the painted details; one of many such added details that can be found on these locomotives.

Items may take up to three weeks to complete, depending on season and workload.
