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.

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.

any one else have a suggestion.

As far as I can tell the hightest nnumber BN used was 9768, so maybe i'll  just go up a little higher.

Hmm, i have no idea maybe 9800 or 9900 something like that. Any number would look good to me!

The highest number used by Burlington Northern was 9995 and it was an EMD E9A.

Tis funny....the CPR runs a train with the Heritage Scheme on it....purely for FUN and they dont collect royalities for the CPR, CP Rail, CP Rail System, Golden Beaver or combination there-of schemes.

We don't see them collecting royalties, yet. CSX introduced their trademark system shortly after UP did, and now BNSF and CN are in the final stages of setting up their own. The railroads realize there's money in this, I don't think it'll be too long before every Class 1 does. And please for the love of pete don't go saying CP will never do it because they're a loving, caring railroad. They will, be it months or years from now, they will.
