OK first of all I do think you are panicing over nothing. I don't think the new paint scheme is boring at all. I have noticed one thing however, with railroads, and that being that everything boils down to MONEY! As soon as somebody new is hired or is moved into a position where they have any say they will look at figures and get out the red marker and start cutting. Especially with the economy as soft as it is now. Give it time, sure they say this will be on "Every Locomotive" now but in a couple months or a couple of years things can change quite dramatically. And as far as model producing goes, these new paint schemes just give the producers a larger market to sell to. The way it is right now there are acouple of diesels that could be brought out in two or three different paint schemes. That really can increase a market to the right people, and to people like me it may be the right diesel but the wrong scheme, oh well, I'll buy it anyway. After all you'd be surprised what a pencil eraser, some paint and a few appropriate decals can do. Paul Union Pacific Modeler / Fall 1995
