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.

That is the D&H (Delaware & Hudson) Heritage Unit. NS bought most of the old D&H from CP a few months ago.

See THIS THREAD, started two days ago.

I think you've been duped.
As many others have said on the other thread, I don't think this has anything to do with the D&H. For one, there are no D&H markings and two, it is clearly marked for "DC to AC".

It will be interesting to see the re-do.

Just a little food for thought. NS did not purchase all of the D&H from CP, just a specific portion. The D&H is still a subsidiary of CP. Maybe that's where the "closeness" to the D&H scheme creates an objection????

And, just for fun, back during the PC merger time line, the D&H had been rolled into a N&W subsidiary/holding company called DERECO. (This was, presumably, to help keep a connection to other traffic and keep the D&H competitive with PC. IIRC, both companies did not like the idea and were pushed into it by the old ICC.)
