What about the Rio Grande? Anyone think they will do a loco in that scheme? I think it would be nice and am sure others would like it as well.
From what I heard, Rio Grande wasn't selected because it was merged with SP, not UP. I think the same goes for SSW too (never mind my previous post about that). The MKT unit will be yellow and green.

If they don't paint a unit in D&RGW,they won't be able to charge us extra for Rio Grande models[:(!]!

Will BNSF get a share of the licensing money, since that train was run jointly with Frisco?
