UP Loco Question

Hi guys… sorry for this stupid question but I don’t know if what I want exists and thought you could help.

My layout is going to be small a small 4x8 and I was advised to stay away from the SD70 locos because they will be to big for my layout. I’m looking for a smaller UP loco with the “Building America” american flag paint. Does anyone know if one exists… I checked Kato, Atlas, and Athearn websites with no luck. Your help would be appreciated.

I think you may be out of luck, because the flag never appeared on UP locomotives until after 9/11/01, and only on SD70, 80, or 90 locomotives.

You might be able to fudge a little and put a flag decal onto a smaller engine.
