No point in crying...get out the airbrush and decals. Hey, I could paint an IC loco....
Sure there's a point. It's annoying. They did the SD40-2 for CN to represent a repainted IC locomotive... so why not do an IC unit since they're trying to get as much bang for the development costs. I fail to see how endless BNSF releases will accomplish that. Maybe the Japanese hate IC as much as I do? Or more, since I actually would like them to do one.
And for me, at this point in time, right now and for the forseeable future, painting isn't an option in my condo... though paint fumes would be better than the stink that comes in from the hall at times. I admit it, I'm in collector mode until there is a basement in my life :'(
