I would do it like in a seires. Like what ever was the higest series for BN, you should model like 1 or 2 series above it. Then put a number behind it. like X026, or somthing like that.

All right, I have it totally painted and just need to decal it now. What number should I put on it do you think? BTW it looks nicer than I thought it was going to turn out.

Heck...Here we go... Trains January, 2007 page12 also. I've got a stack right here.
And supposedly of photographers and railfans in general as well.
The heritage units are as much a good-will offering to railfans as they are a giant message board stating "These Logos Are The Property Of Union Pacific Railroad".
It has been the topic of countless articles. UP's licensing lawsuits, bla, bla, bla. Lawyers defending UP's right to collect royalties from murchandising of UP heritage logos, bla, bla, bla.
Quiz: Remember what Mike Wolfe did?
I read it, but didn't realize that UP was making the heritage series becuase of that.

Seems like somebody hasn't been reading their issues of Trains and MRR in the last year or so.

I knew that. I know BN retained the name, but BN has GN heritage. Would it be nice to have like what UP does? A heritage series. Have it painted up in the old GN paint whit Hustle Muscle.

I actually would go with a White face and Stripes. BN only had one of those locos. I forgot what the number was so....OR the executive one would look good. But I would go "retro" and stay with the cascade green as, that's what most (Not saying all) people think of when they hear BN.
Do you have a date on that original picture? I noticed the 2nd unit was a C&S. There are no ditch lights. So I am guessing this was taken around 1973.

OK,
I ordered a KATO undecorated SD80MAC and had a couple of questions for you BN fans. I am going to be doing a white face scheme and I have found two ways they painted it. Please tell me if you like #1 or #2.
