Swafford,

 

That really looks great.  Here is the original logo used on the former RRRR SW900s.

 

CN GT ES44AC V TWO [2)

GT Heritage 1 [5)

GT Heritage 1 [4)

Frank, This version of the CN Heritage series is my favorite. Your original drawing up at the top is quite close to the finished product.

 

I like the use of the stripes on the front, rear and the cooling unit sides up high on the rear.

 

Also, When Jeff created the actual model he located the crossed American & Canadian Flags just after the GT LOGO and that really adds a very NICE INTERNATIONAL touch to this series and makes it more unique.

 

You and Ben(bluelinec4) sure gave Jeff Sohn a GREAT GIDE to work his magic on these units for me.

 

Thanks to all for your help.

The hopper cars are a little harder for me to select than the Diesels.

 

For the GT Hopprt car I do like the black one here shown first. Hower if the BLUE color in the second drawing was a little closer to the GT BLUE I might like it the best.

 

 

For the IC Hopper car I think I like the same black body with the orange and white stripes like you have in picture #3 but maybe with the LOGO INSIDE THE WHITE STRIPE.

 

Maybe do two cars one with the last logo and one with the next to last.logo.

 

Thanks Frank looking forward to seeing those.
