choice 1:
Loco: NS late model GE road unit (EMD has been overrepresented between the
ATSF warbonnet F and the BNSF GP)... preferably one with radiator flares,
I’m not picky about which one. Make sure it has thoroughbred (prancing
horse) stickers for the logo, in several sizes.

I like your thinking here, but I question the road for color reasons. Black?
Boring.

Fair cop. But read on for why I chose NS.

How about a U boat
(not too wild about the model, but, <drool>, NAVY:-d)

That’s a broken image link but I’m guessing it’s a MoPac engine??? I agree it’s
a nice color AND they have a great logo... BUT... they’re a Fallen Flag!... I’m
talking current roads here.
Plus, good luck getting permission from UP for the rights. They’re pretty tough,
rumour has it they just started sueing people again). I named off NS because
they’re reputed to be easy to work with (they were when I contacted them
anyway)...
CSX, the other major “big 4” road, has less coal traffic than NS (but still
enough to run unit trains)... how do you feel about blue/yellow/gray???
