[quote user="broncoman"][quote user="n012944"][quote user="traisessive1"]  Shut up, don't whine and be grateful that UP is even wasting their money on painting units of railroads they don't even care about anymore.... don't whine and be happy you have these heritage units at all. [/quote]   Why do people think that the UP is doing this for railfans or former employees of the railroads?  UP is doing this only for trademark reasons, so if I decide to buy a model I have to pay more for the CNW version than I would say an IC verson.  It is all just a part of greed on the UP.[2c]   Bert[/quote] While there is a lot of truth to the licensing thing,  UP could have accomplished that by leaving a unit from each line just patched with a original lines' logo.  They chose to spend money on a designer (wether or not we think that they were worth it) and the money to custom paint a unit in something other than the off the shelf UP paint that they buy in bulk and probably get a huge break in price on.  How many companies in this day choose to spend money like that?  I haven't seen UPS doing a heritage Overnight Truck lines paint scheme on a rig nor probably will we in the future. [/quote] I don't see any MoPac or MKT locomotives running around, so there's two they couldn't put under their "shield." With the latest Heritage design, I'm wondering if the "designers" were inebriated at the drawing board. Matt
