and Athearn did this model/paint scheme with the patchout too ! 

PS :  I actually just picked one up at the LHS today and though it is patched for CSXT, they didn't use the tan paint like I thought they did.  If you see the computer rendering, it shows tan paint but in reality it is just black lettering over the grey paint.

Just looked at mine and it is a tan patch, got it a couple years ago if that means anything.

Even better!  Bob caught 226962; the magazine displayed 226968.  That means there's at least two of those "B&O" hoppers possibly still out there.

NS & CSX business trains parked adjacent to each other at DC's Union station this morning

NS-24 "Delaware" Full dome car park along with 2 cars on Track 7  while CSX had 3 cars at the end of Track 8.

Yeah I know its a lousy pic - was walking while trying to take a pic with my phone camera
