I like the idea that Gordon is mainline certified post or maybe even pre 2011 and becomes something of an ambassador to the NWR going across to places like Carlisle, Manchester, York, Shildon, London, Derby, even Edinburgh on special excursions.

Do Meridian Models still make these kits?

I used to think Trump was the modern Charles Foster Kane, but now I wonder if it’s actually Elon Musk…

Ok so hear me out…what if the guy who crashed Duck into the barber shop was the one who he crashed into at the back of the Flying Kipper?

There was that odd tiger stripe BN scheme…imagine how much better though this could look with BNSF orange and green…A tiger bonnet 😁

This I knew about, but I meant like the bonnet part is orange and the body is dark green and you add the yellow accents to break it up like the Red and silver scheme

I seem to recall one of the issues the ICC had was duplicate routes, but wouldn’t that just mean you could ship more goods to places without having to worry as much about bottlenecking?

Say, an “Orange Bonnet” to go with the Red and Yellow bonnets. Or what if you leaned on the Black and Cascade Green of BN units and did an Orange body with green accents?

I always liked the warbonnets and seeing them in my train videos. Whether they were red, yellow, or Kodachrome, it looked good no matter what color it was. Imagine if BNSF had tried their Great Northern esque Orange and green and made a War Bonnet out of that?

Cousins once or twice removed?

It works so well with the Midland loans and the timing honestly, and the designer’s wife was also a woman named Emily, so it still fits! Much better than trying to shoehorn her as a fourth S&M loco. Yeah, I think even something like Emily in the show was out of their price range…

I actually remember this…I thought for the longest time it was some weird dream I had…
