Of course you are correct! (the part about James remains to be seen). Also, an “SD” might be questionable, because of the added complication of adding the extra axle, so I would guess a “GP”. But you never know....

I didn’t quite understand that cruel Jake didn’t even tell the 1000Steinelanders the whole story, but left it as a mystery to them as well.

That is the color scheme of BNSF (the product of the merger of Burlington Northern and the Sante Fe) and with whom TLC had the licensing agreement to produce the Super Chief. Both parties were obviously pleased with the results and so they are at it again! WooHoo!

Now I am glad dark blue was chosen for the Maersk set; now we can have our dark colored cake and eat it, too:-d
