PRLX features:
All PRLX locomotives are Primed for Grime with road numberspecific patches and fading
Many of BNSFs SD75Ms were in storage by 2014-2015. The 20plus year old units were definately past their prime at this point, however, most of them still had a future. Norfolk Southern bought a total of seven units, to become NS 2800-2806. In addition, Progress Rail Leasing (PRLX) bought a large group of the units. They arrived to PRLX wearing several paint schemes, including the Santa Fe Warbonnet as well as BNSFs Heritage II paint. The units were hastily patched and placed into service, as of this writing they are leased to CN and KCS, but future leasing assignments are likely.
Primed for grime models feature:
Duplicated look and feel of -In Service- equipment, -Tattered and Torn- just like the real thing
Faded base colors matched to the prototype
Patches applied and shaped per roadnumber matching each corresponding side to the prototype
Perfect starting point for adding grime and rust
