ACK! I've gone to the dark side!

Well I've been holding true to the Burlington Northern for many years now and have managed to fight off any and all temptation to go with the merger.
Then the other day I bought some rolling stock in a bulk deal and this followed me home!

It's just too pretty to not keep it and being a Kato it runs awesome!
Now I'm drawing the line, no BNSF rolling stock. None.
Ok, well I might look for one more loco in the H1 scheme to keep this girl company.....

Well dang, as predicted in the original post I received another package in the mail today...
BNSF 976 will be sharing the duties with 5622 once the new layout is up and running!
The hard part now is going to be refraining from adding more SF to the BN fleet!
Although those red und silver ex war bonnets are pretty slick looking locos too tho.... oh oh!

You could use it as a leased loco

I'm a huge GN guy (see my avatar ) but I love that heritage paint scheme. I might have one of those wander onto my (1958 era) layout some day.

Just have to make sure it's in the original SF. You're modelling the same time frame as Chet (montanan) Check out his layout, a bit south of you.
