The Green & Cream is called "Executive" and the Wedgie is called "Heritage 3". Well I like H3 the best.

The Executive scheme was not a BNSF scheme. It was the BN's new scheme before the merger.

Not quite. Even after the merger SD70MAC's were painted in exec. colors w/ "BNSF" on the sides until around 1997. From then on H2 was used on SD70MAC's.

They painted Warbonnets with BNSF on the side too, that does not make it a BNSF scheme. Just a copy cat.

For a true BNSF scheme, I like Heritage one. But nothing can beat the ATSF Warbonnet or BN Executive!

I'm sorry, but I cannot understand you. I do not recognize words such as "yur", "wich", and "wut". I would appreciate it if you made an attempt to spell words correctly.


Thank you,
Matt

I have an idea.
How about the Santa Fe Blue Bonnet with an all Sylver underframe. I loved the Santa Fe's Blue Bonnet and the Red and Sylver Scheme. Allan.

Speaking of favorite schemes, does anyone know of a good match to the Exec cream & green? I'm working on an undec SD70MAC to match BN #9665.

I like the executive livery. I do not model BNSF but I know it is only a matter of time until I get one or two SD70s in executive livery. Guess they will just have got leased by NS. Of course why am I being picky? I have no issue funning a Deutch Bahn EO3 along side the Acela.[:D]

Whichever one of the above choices was known as the Pumpkin Scheme -- I'm no big fan of BNSF so I don't know the terms you are using here....

I believe it is referred to as their "New Image" acheme, and I'll admit it, I like it too, though they should have stuck with H2.

You are correct. The "official" company song is the wedge/nike/H3 is called the "New Image", just like it's no longer Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, but BNSF Railway. One of the bright ideas corperate bean counters had to try to "bring together" the old BN and SF legacy folks under one big happy orange umbrella.
