Didn't think I'd like the blue but I do.

Hmm. I definitely recall the NW blue being... well, not that BLUE. It was more of a navy blue. Anyway, I agree with whoever it was that said the redbird scheme would have worked better.

EDIT: I was right. Look at this: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2008226

The N&W one is out, and of course - they got the blue wrong ...

I really like all four of the units completed to date: CR, SOU, NKP, and CofG and look forward to more being released.  Wouldn't it be nice if NS got wind of the CRHS Rail-B-Q in Newport, PA next month and sent at least one of these heritage units through that day?  You know, it does increase, albeit small, the odds of getting a blue leader.

And we'd miss it because we were at the Hard Hat.

I hadn't noticed this before but what is the little abmer light just under the front edge of the cab windows?

If they're gonna paint it up like a former WAB cab unit (that's why the number is in that non-standard location)... at least add the upper striping most of the E units had too.  Oh well... I lobbied hard to get it changed to maroon and gold, to no avail.

Turn signal.

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Turn signal.

Plus 10 internets to you sir.

Yeah, thanks for trying. Bad enough that they chose blue, and then to get the color wrong ... 

Of all the schemes N&W had, the blue was probably the least representative of the N&W.

Still think NKP wins so far.
