Jake made a comment that the released trains would have bricks formed of dark
green, instead of having their dark green sprayed on. :) It’s just a
prototype so far.
Jake also mentioned that, as a prototype, the stickers you see aren’t final.

About the stickers: I hope they change the number of the engine, as #1013 is not
supposed to be a GP, but a C44-9W. Check this out:
http://www.trainpix.com/bnsf/ROSTER.HTM or even better
http://www.trainpix.com/bnsf/GEORIG/C44-9W/1013.HTM
But I’ll buy this set anyway :-)

It would be neat if they also provide a sticker sheet with more than one number
for folks who want to run multiple units. They did that for the Super Chief and
I thought that was a really cool extra detail they provided.
If they’ve already started printing #1013 sticker sheets I have a very simple
solution to the problem... they can just save them and release a new C44-9W set
in the near future :-)
Also, just curious which prototype folks think this new set most closely
matches. I know it’s a GM EMD GP-something... GP38-2?
for example:

Seeing this post brings tears of joy to my eyes, Mark!
GREAT (and well supported with a *specific* reference rather than some general
self aggrandizing blather about why you know a lot about the topic) nitpick!
Although, who cares really... it’s just a toy....

|
Me too, multiple copies I am sure! I just have to decide if it’s worth importing
a bunch to save a few bucks...

Right on!
As to the other comment about stickers and getting more than one, I agree, I
hope they issue multiple numbers, and moreover, choose them so that if you slice
them up you get lots of different possible values (1013 and 2348 for example
give you, with one slice, many different number possibilities while 1013 and
1014 give you far fewer if you see what I mean)...

You know, this means a lot to me, coming from you. I always look up to you as
some kind of master-of-lugnet ;-)

Well, I could explain why I know so much about BNSF, but that would probably
bore eberyone else. Just imagine an N-scale modelrailroad, dedicated to the BN,
the ATSF and the BNSF... And yeah, it is just a toy.

I’ll be more than happy to order some for you. I could even swap one for one of
your custom locomotives?

One can only hope. But even with only one engine number available, I’m going to
buy at least two. And next year: matching freight cars!

Hi Mark,
I guess I’m probably getting the context wrong here, but I have to ask:
“matching freight cars”?
Do you mean the MOT freight cars, some of Larry’s custom cars, or have you heard
something about some companion BNSF freight car sets coming out next year to go
with this new locomotive?

Uh-oh. I hope I didn’t get your hopes up too high. I was only expressing my
hopes. I do not know of any planned freight cars from TLC. But as is the case
with the SuperChief: matching cars could very well be coming next year.
But like I said: I am only hoping.
