I have become so disenthralled by the actions of Union Pacific that I very nearly repainted every UP Piece of Rolling stock into GN, CB&Q, BN, or my freelance TV&C. But cooler heads prevailed. My Union Pacific items are going to be curtailed heavily and the only UP Items I see my self purchasing at anytime in the is made by Bowser and Revell-Monogram. (The tinkering craftsman inside needs an outlet) I still may repaint alot of my UP locomotives as they have no bearing on what I actually model and repainting them in my view is a much better way to dispose of a UP locomotive than selling it or outright trashing it. (Or giving it to that UP9899 fellow as he once suggested). I do have to admit there are about 6 UP locomotives in my collection that would be immune from the spray job treatment for the following reasons. First is that my Bachmann U33B and F9 A were the two locomotives that came in the train sets that got me started in the hobby. My Athearn DD40 and F7A were models that my dad custom painted for me. My Bachmann GP40 was the first locomotive I bought that didn't come in a trainset. and my UP 4-8-4 was the first "real" steam locomotive model I purchased. (The Spectrum Heavyweight train that goes with it will be immune as well) However I find poetic justice in the fact that my Supposed UP 4-8-4 Uses a Santa Fe boiler and a Southern Pacific Tender. <br /> <br />Now with my views communicated where is my mill file? I need a Bowser Challenger, a Kemtron Centipede tender, and fixin's to do a greyhound paint scheme.
