BNSF SD75Ms

[james saunders]

hey guys i use to own a HO BNSF SD75M in the BNSF Warbonnet scheme... and i am wondering if any of the the Locos have been repainted into either H1, H2, or H3 scheme, also is there any left of the Santa Fe Lettered SD75s or have they all been patched to BNSF? thanks in advance.

And some SD75M shots-

Most of these should have dates on them.

All 51 ex-ATSF SD75M's were patched in 1998. I think about 9 have been painted into H2, It's very suprising that BNSF has been repainting the SD75M's that they ordered in warbonnet instead of the ex-ATSF's

[Lyon_Wonder]

If BNSF repaints any of the remaining warbonnet SD75s they will probably be wearing the new H3 with the “Swoosh” logo. So far the only pre-GEVO engines repainted into H3/H4 are Dash9s and SD40-2s.

thanks for the reply guys

there is no H4 (the warbonnet does not count) - so there are some SD40-2's painted like the locomotive in my signature(H3) so my Athearn AC4400 H3 isn't prototypical?

Some what off topic but gonna do it anyway. Yesterdat I saw a 65' (give or take) open gondola with a fresh coat of black paint with the BNSF and "swoosh" logo in white. Looked pretty good for a gondola.

Here we go again with the So-called swoosh logo thing. There is no such thing as a swoosh. It is BNSF Railway. Allan.

i agree w/ you BNSFrailfan -it's called heitage 3 or the powerbar calling it a "swoosh" sounds stuipd to me even if you don't know the proper name

Even Trains had initially called it the 'swoosh' logo, but they also include the proper name. Most people are using the term if they don't know because the Nike trademark is called a 'swoosh,' and there are some similarities between the two, mostly in the lettering following the line of the geometric shape. I've heard "Heritage 3," but didn't know that the graphic is called the 'power bar.' Is that a term from graphic design, or is that a term that the BNSF marketing folks came up with?

[joegreen]

Heritage 3 is Heritage 2 with the new logo and Heritage 4 is Heritage 1 with the new logo. I guess when the first SD40-2 was painted people started calling it H4 but really it's H3 even if wide cabs and standard cabs get a different design.

BNSF never really gave it a name. They just refer to themselves as the BNSF Railway and have no name for the paint scheme. BNSF left it up to anybody to just call it what they wanted.

If BNSF has not bothered to name it, then "swoosh" sounds as if at least you know which one your talking about?

swoosh is just a retarded name. It has NOTHING to do with the BNSF Railway.

Talked to a guy who works at the Tulsa Cherokee yard and he said that they are calling it the "new look". I would venture to guess there is not an official name for it since no one person calls it the same thing.

IMHO it looks nice what ever it is called.

I was thinking about their swooshed AC4400, and no, I don't think it is correct. It might be in a few years though, lol.

[james saunders]

woah this has really heated up

[Anonymous]

joegreen i really don't think there is a H4 --H3 has very few similarities w/ H2 although some are H3 w/ H2 decals- as for the H1 w/ new logo- i doubt they'd paint any like that (unless a few experimental ones)---------------------------------------------------------- i'm so sick of you guys calling it a "swoosh" we've told you it's either H3 , the powerbar, or the new image- BNSFrailfan you agree w/ me don't you

Patched has nothing to do with Union Pacific, but we call it that anyway. Lay off buddy, chill out dude, c'mon Allan, lol.

I really don't care if anybody insults UP, I'm not insulting BNSF, I don't recall BNSF putting out a Press Release saying it was a power bar. Maybe they did, but it's nicer than calling them Bigger Now Same F****** Railway. I'm not insulting them in my book, you're not insulting UP in my book, why can't railfans casually poke fun at each other's favorites, this little arguement is retarded. BNSF and UP are both good railroads, and everybody has to have fun poked at them now and then, and people should't take offense to it.

your right --we shouldn't be arguing like this- I like BNSF and you like UP --it's as simple as that http://www.bnsf.com/employees/communications/bnsf_today/2005/01/2005-01-24-b2.html - they don't give the logo a name but in keeping w/ the other paint schemes it was called HERITAGE 3 (by railfans at least) i just think Heritage 3 sounds more intelligant than "swoosh"- well whatever you want to call it it's definitly the best BNSF paint in my book

Hey dingoix. Just tell them that the BNSF is the God os a Railroads. That will get them mad. The word swoosh sounds realy stupid and very retarded. Allan.

There isn't an H4 scheme, and that's what I was trying to say. There also is no H3 with H2 decals, it would be H2 with H3 decals which is what the new paint scheme is. There is also H1 with H3 decals,BNSF is painting their standard cab units in the H1/H3 scheme. every SD40-2 has it so far. I think about 5 or 6 SD40-2s have been painted, and a GP35.

And it's up to you what you call it. Everybody has there own name for it no matter what the real name is(if there even is one).........and since this is a free country and we have the right to call it what we want, we will call it what we want, whether it be "swoosh" or "new look".

Like I said, I'll call it whatever I want to. I'll call it what people recognize, people obviously don't know what a Heritage 3 is, like I do. You're still trying to get people straightened out on the "Heritage 4" junk. Maybe if you get them down pat on the real names of the schemes, I'll call it by the proper name that it is recognized as. Nobody said NS units couldn't be called catfishes, or the primer ones albino catfishes, I don't know, do you argue about calling BNSF units "pumpkins"? Or how about CSX's "YN3"...it's called "Dark Future"...and the CN's logo is called the "noodle", these are all affectionate names that people call things CASUALLY and mean nobody any harm. Calm the hell down, I've seen this happen before, and nobody has been killed by giving something a nickname yet.

Oh I just noticed this on another topic called: Why DO railroads paint their locomotives in such fancy colors?

i read in a railroad book IC's black paint was to show it's "conservative" side (not wasting paint?) seriously though i LOVE the last IC paint scheme w/ the "DEATH STAR" on the front
--------------------
I don't know what I'm doing but i'm an EXPERTat it

modeling BNSF in HO scale





Now, did IC say it was OK for you to call it a "DEATH STAR"? What if I was a big IC fan like you (which I am) and I protested that it should be called their "last corperate image"? You are very inconsistant and make no sense. I have nothing against BNSF, I'm a fan, I'll call it what I want to. Nobody should take any of this personally. Good Lord ya'll, lighten up.

[Anonymous]

"last corporate image" is fine w/ me- i just stated that somewhere it was refered to as the death star
joegreen the only difference between H2 and H3 is the stripes at the top and bottom are black on H3 but on H2 they are green(and the decals are different) -heritage 2


heritage 3

this H3 w/ H2 letters i'm talking about- it's just H3 but the letters "BNSF" are from the H2

[espeefoamer]

I have always called the new scheme the "Wedgie" and will continue to do so,at least until BNSF comes up with an official name.

it's just ***ing paint! be glad trains are still around. *** calm down

The new logo on the wide cabs(which you posted) are only different from H2 with the black paint(which you said) and the new logo. They also have new reflective stripes, which are applyed to anything, but the standard cab units get a different paint scheme. The standard cabs get a paint scheme similar to H1 but with black paint on top and bottom, and they also have the new logo. So we really do have both H1 and H2 still only they changed it's logo and changed the green paint to black, which we now like to call "H3"

Man, am I confused. What does the *latest* BNSF look like? I"m reading H-2H-3H-3H-H-2etc.. My head hurts. Which of these photos depicts the latest paint job, whatever it's called? Thanks[xx(]
