New UP paint scheme

This thread helps prove the old, old adage that “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time”.
John Lydgate (and later adopted by President Lincoln).

And the UP Paint Dept. is ROTFLTAO thinking now those train simmers have to repaint all their UP locos!

Silver Trucks? Good luck. The way railroads don't wash their locomotives on a daily basis, silver trucks are useless. Paint Em Black, as The Rolling Stones once said..

That's a bit harsh...

I can't say it's offensive. I wish they'd keep the wings on the shield. Moving the flags to the cab reminds me a bit of the flags you'd see on the front fenders of a 1940's diplomatic vehicle... and yes, it does have a bit of utility as far as swapping out the access doors on the long body goes.

Since the flags never made it to local switchers, I wouldn't expect this to be on anything other than six axle road power.
