Wait are you being serious or just joking around????? :confused: :confused: lol

BNSF = Burlington Northern Santa Fe


Of course he's kidding Josh,look at his avatar and sig.he's an AT&SF fan.I'm guessing he's not happy with the BN/AT&SF merger or he models a different era when there was no such thing as the BNSF.:-D

I talked to some of the Santa Fe people a year or so after the merger. I asked them what difference they saw in the railroad post merger. Their response was, "The railroad has slowed down 10 years and I doubt if the BN people will ever catch up to the speeds we used to run."

Smoke, i like your engine:up: . please forgive my ignorance though:eek:ops: , but why would BNSF patch their OWN engine...that has their most current paint scheme even:confused: . i have seen UP patch their own engines that have OLD paint on them, they do this if they decide to do a whole set of number changes, or move the engine into yard service(UPY), but for the life of me, i cant figure out why BNSF would patch an engine thats freshly painted with MOST CURRENT paint scheme:confused: . Please enlighten me on this matter. :) -Deano

Ok i'll enlighten you. I model the Southern Railway in the modern day. I liked the paint scheme on the loco so I patched it for Southern. The engine is now owned by the Southern Railway. I will probably put a little SOU decal by the numbers to let everyone know this.
