Surprise

Ben
       I am guessing because the current color scheme for the most part came from N&W, black with white lettering. I wish they would do heritage locos like UP. I'd like to see an EVO or SD70 in Southern green, VGN or Nickel Plate livery.

Also, in all fairness, I think they should have three heritage sets.  With Southern and N&W, how about a Pennsylvania scheme as well?  (or my personal favorite, Penn Central!)
