I was gonna say, what the heck kind of house is that in the back ground?

Don't know that livery so I don't know if it's anatomically correct or not. !**duh*!!

Oddly, this one (at the time of the photo anyway) didn't have one. This sure will make it easy to do a UP MP15DC won't it?

The house is a default Kuju something.... I wanted a bit of background for my pictures, so the wife and I built a little farm and road scene.

The numbering and Logo font is incorrect? The stacks don't have that box thing around them?

The merger switcher, and it's UP and Western Pacific merger cousins all were Armour Yellow and Dove Gray with red stripes. the font used for the merger logo was a carry forward of the Missouri Pacific block font. It looks odd to see UP colors on a MP locomotive, but there were many of these transition paint schemes done.

The Numbering font is a compromise to be able to keep auto numbering.

I'll have this one and a UP version ready to upload soon.
