I prefer a mix of the two - I like the cigar band, but I also like the darker upper and lower stripes.

The color scheme is like the unfortunate choice of name for BNSF. It is a frankenstein collage of fallen flags with a logo that reminds me of the label of an aspirin bottle. The Santa Fe variation so delutes the bold colors of the original that it looks like a faded shadow of it's former self . Ugh. The Acela choice of colors resembles an airline scheme which is probably intentional.
Where are the bold yet simple colors of yore in fallen roads like Alton, Milwaukee, CNW, etc. Take your pick. Any of these would be preferable to these examples of decision by committee.

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

#1. Not so much the logo, but the paint scheme that goes with it. #2 has too much orange

I like the H2 scheme. I love the scotchlite yellow letters on the side of that loco. Makes that scheme a little more brighter then the H1. I also like the cigar band on pic to as well. My only problem with H1 is that it is to dark it needs something to brighten it up a bit.

I prefer the "War Pumpkin" logo way more than the "Rubber Stamp" logo.

   Have fun with your trains
