Hallelujah! It'd be nice if CSX would do the same, with Heritage engines for Chessie, B&O, C&O, Seaboard System, ect.

Re: NS Heritage Fleet For Real This Time?
So who wants to post up a picture of each of the older 18 schemes so we have something to compare the new NS units against?
One, two, three..not it!

Re: NS Heritage Fleet For Real This Time?
Really glad Wick Morrman and the NS Gang have realized what the UP has done with their "Heritage Fleet" and the amount of attention they get as well as coverage. Personally I'd love to see all the NYC, PRR Tuscan, CR, PC, New Haven and EL locomotives together. Even the Wabash in passenger scheme would be kick arse on the Wabash!
Re: NS Heritage Fleet For Real This Time?
Might give me a reason to actually go railfan the NS now.

Holy crap! Thank goodness they are going back to the Southern and NW mergers of the 60's and beyond too.

Re: NS Heritage Fleet For Real This Time?
Can't wait to see these. I've been hoping CSX would do the same, but I won't hold my breath.
At work and play, be safe every day.
Re: NS Heritage Fleet For Real This Time?
P&WV, The model is pretty much what it looked like.
I'm just here to put in time claims and complain

Re: NS Heritage Fleet For Real This Time?
The SOUTHERN painted S&A unit is from when the SOU purchased lines and painted them all in SOU paint but put the railroads name spelled out on the long hood. This is NOT the paint they are going to do. So far after a half hour this is the best shot I could find of a S&A unit.
