That's one attractive locomotive.....I tip my hat to NS for this project; really well executed and just a really fun way to market themselves.....
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Yeah, but what color is a thoroughbred?  Is it black?  Let's go to the 'net.

Since one color of the thoroughbred is the "red chestnut," I say the the original Norfolk Southern's scheme is appropriate for a new paint scheme for NS.    ;)

Man, thats right up there with Iowa Interstate in good looks. I was thinking they were going to go with the gray on black scheme.

Red and yellow with black accents?  I have a hankering for some fast food.
