Thanks for the pictures! On a side note, we have my parents down here for the Broncos game and I showed my mom the H3 Premium shot and she said, "Oh, those are the new GEs, aren't they?" mg: How the heck did she know?!? I asked her and she said, "Oh, it's that little hood thing on the side." mg:mg:
I guess it could be worst but it is kind of nice to see a swoosh after seeing beat up cascade green and red silver units all day. Maybe I'm feeling nostalgic for the 70's, but IMHO, CSX should go back to Chessie colors, NS should keep their scheme but go from black to Slyvan Green, Guilford should paint everything either Pine Green or B&M Blue, CN should adopt the old IC orange and white, BNSF should go with the original Cascade paint scheme and UP? Well UP should just give back all the roads they bought.:angel:
I agree with Triplex. They shouldn't have removed the words from the name. As far as paint schemes, being a Santa Fe man myself, I like H2 the best, the new swoosh is growing on me and I don't dislike it enough that if Kato produces a model of a ACe, I'd buy it. The worst was the warbonnet with BNSF on the side instead of Santa Fe, Blasphemy I Say!
To me anything is better thank UP Chuck Yellow and Gray That I see every day. I do enjoy seeing BNSF pulling into Warmsprings yard for their daliy Auto Rack train. Nick
