Why can't people understand that the only reason they did that is because they want the paint schemes the correct color and the logos the correct style (unlike bachmann) as well as their predessor railroads. $5 is a small price to pay for a drasticly more correct model.

No I don't work for UP- I work for CP and anyone will tell you- A true railroader does not sit down and watch other his southerly freind get beaten up, by of all things stupidity.

In this thread many of you are exercising your right to be a complete idiot. Fair enough. Can you try to take that ONE step Higher, and exercise your right to be educated, to use class, to use proper style, and to be informed about when you make doltish remarks.


Thank you kevin

Do you know the meaning of opinion? Apperently you don't know how to repsect other people opinion. I'm disgusted with your intoralence of the fact that i like CNW. I wouldn't call you a modeler i would call you A TIN CAN WITH A WICK!


So...if I read this correctly....CNWfan started with a UP blast....UP9899 said something about CNW.....CNWfan has started flame tantrum.....and has apparently called UP9899 a refillable citronella torch as best I can tell....UP9899 is sitting back laughing and feeding it......and Mario Puzo needs to get something off his chest about poor grammar that put Aggro to sleep....Did I miss something???

BTW this bit of info will make you both happy UP practicaly owned the C&NW from the begining (they owned a good portion of the stock) BUT if it weren't for the C&NW the UP would never have been built (the CNW hauled most of UP's rails).

If you buy undecorated train stuff, you could then put on your own decals and whatever. Are UP decals increasing in price?
Good debate you have started here.
