Oh, and before "sombody" says anything (cough, cough) we ARE working on a locomotive project that will include the BNSF Heritage I livery. Of course, AZL has already released multiple locomotives with the Heritage I livery. (GP38-2, GP30, and SW1500, plus brass C44-9W) I'm not sure who you are referring to (my wish has been the above Heritage-II scheme, overwhelmingly) but I'm happy for them. Of immediate interest would be the Heritage-I SD40-2 that most of us wanted in lieu of the Swoosh that you did. (similar "meh" problem as the ES44.) If it's a *new* new project, that hopefully means the C44-9W. If so, only talking about Heritage I livery is burying the lede! Heritage I, Heritage-II, and...ahem....SILVER WARBONNET!!!! (and that is just the BNSF schemes) Oh, and Swoosh I guess too. (although Swoosh seems much more popular with manufacturers than it is with modelers, in my experience...at least for locos that weren't delivered natively in the Swoosh scheme.) And probably a dozen other "Dash 9" schemes of note too that will sell well. ATSF, SP, UP, NS, CN, CNW, CSX, et al.

One of my favorites. I photographed this locomotive while travelling a couple of years ago. Here is a link to more pics I took... UP 1943

ES44AC UP 7400 and BNSF 6017 are on the picture but not on the list? Those are one-off special edition locomotives, not the standard schemes. 7400 is the Komen for the Cure unit, and 6017 is one of the BNSF 25th Anniversary units. I'm curious how many of the BNSF 25th Anniversary AZL is doing....not something of interest for me but there are 10 of them to choose from. (EDIT: saw another reference to them only doing a single 25th unit) Those listed road numbers don't include the demonstrators or the UP heritage units either. There are a LOT of locomotives in this run!

Looks like no UP 4141 George Bush commemorative rerun. Could be a nice collectible.
