As long as your not the UP pres. I don’t care! I like everything about the UP exept for there lousy management.
Amen to that, dougal.[:)]
I model the 1970’s Burlington Northern, so in addition to the various shades of Cascade Green, I have 4 CB&Q schemes, 3 GN schemes, 4 NP schemes, and an SP&S for flavor. Modelling mergers offers a fantastic variety of locomotives, cabooses, and freight cars.
I run freight cars from Southern Pacific, D&RGW, ATSF, PRR, Union Pacific, Great Northern, Burlington, Virginian, Northern Pacific, N&W, Western Maryland, GM&O, B&O, C&O, PFE, and WP.
Of course ! It has never been uncommon to see foreign power on any RR. The first UP engine I ever saw was on the lead of an N&W train in the 60’s.
I model the CB&Q a few months before the merger which created BN. BUT, I have toyed with the idea of bumping my era up to post-merger times for the reasons michael mentions above.
Here’s another idea I’ve thought about…bump the era up to 1971 (post May?) and you can throw Amtrak into the mix, too. This will allow for running various roads passenger equipment together in a single train . . . tres funky!
