I always find it interesting how our individual opinions may vary...that's what makes this Forum great!
Although I do agree that this is a nice-looking paint scheme--and will make for yet another cool O-scale model--I think it's a very poor attempt by NS at doing a D&H "Heritage" unit. Other than the blue and gray (which don't even appear to be the correct shades), IMO it bears no real resemblance to the D&H's classic "lightning stripe" scheme.
