Anyone see Xzibit walking around? Pimp My Ride indeed!

What a JOKE. This is UP trying to cover their butts for their "fallen flag" claim against the model railroad industry.
|
That's not heritage but at the same time its somewhat interesting.
|
Sorta reminds me of the Maserk-Sealand F45. What does the slogan say? Its not the usual "Building America".

I believe it's "Proven heritage/powerful future" one one side of the shield with "Building Amewrica" on the other side. Nice shots, Bruce. My one complaint about this unit is a small one actually, why did they not outline the inside of the numbers dark blue as they did the outside? It looks odd. Overall, I like it! -- Joe H.

This is how UP is going to justify going after anyone who uses "their logo" for profit. Model railroaders are already paying a surcharge on CNW, SP and UP models.
Now the "fallen flags" are being added to the line up.

Nice picture, Bruce, but that is one ugly locomotive.
|
Great shot, I really like this locomotive
|

You're not the only one who likes the 70ACe. I'll bet everyone thinks that the thing is simply ugly, but crews don't shut up about how smooth they ride. It takes a pretty funky paint job like this one to make them look good, though. Neat:)

Hey I think it's great!! Always nice to see some variety on the rails. Great catch, and thanks for sharing!
