Good job on the paint scheme. Looks GREAT! But I have to ask, what hostile takeover? The Rock filed bankruptcy and ceased operations in 1980. The trustees sold some of the assets to other railroads, including the UP. THERE WAS NO HOSTILE TAKEOVER. Southern Pacific got some of the major routes and was later taken over by the UP. A government agency owns the trackage in western Kansas and it is operated by the Kyle Railroad. I guess modeler's license let's you rewrite history if you want, but by the time the Rock shut down the physical plant was in such bad shape that no one, including the UP would have mounted the effort for a "hostile takeover". <br />But back to the subject, you did a great job on the paint. I really like it! <br /> <br />Cheers, <br /> <br />Ed
