GE ES44AC - Standard DC -- Norfolk Southern #8100 (Nickel Plate Road Heritage Scheme; black, yellow)

Marking its 30th anniversary in 2012, Norfolk Southern is celebrating by painting some of its newest ES44AC locos in historic schemes used by the road's predecessors. Starting with the popular GEVO loco, these N Scale models now sport an improved nose with a notch where the headlights are normally placed, along with a four-window cab with a headlight above the windshield; although these changes are not quite 100% perfect for NS units, the prototype locos have had many changes to their features during production as well.
