If you start taking a long look at pictures of UP locomotives you would find that there are rarely any "wrong" colors. As a guy that lives near the UP tracks west of Chicago I can assure you that every shade of UP yellow appears as these guys age out. Unless you want them to all look like they are new there is no wrong yellow.

I'm with Buzz. The colors on the current RSC SD70ACe are fine.

I agree with both of you but I still think it is a little light for the new aces. Just my opinion
