SD70ACe Diesel Engines

In the 2012 American Flyer Catalog, Lionel introduced a line of SD70ACe Diesel Engines. It proved so popular that production extended into 2019 with the release of 70 different engines. Because there are so many, I have split them up over six web pages:

                 #42500 through #42510 are on this page
                 #42511 through #42530 are on page 2
                 #42531 through #47945 are on page 3
                 #47946 through #48173 are on page 4
                 #48174 through #1921080 are on page 5
                 #1921091 through #1921140 are on page 6

Unless otherwise specified, the pictures on this page are my own.
