I see that the new WBB UP switcher that is painted black with yellow lettering is out. Don't know if the UP ever used this scheme, but it looks cool to me. Anyone have it yet? If so, please post some pics and let us know how it runs. And btw, what's the "plus" in Tru-Blast Plus. Thanks

UP switchers that were delivered before the 1948 NW2s were in this paint scheme. A preserved RR has painted one of thier engines back into this scheme.
I've always liked this paint scheme. I'd be happy if one of the manufacturers delivered an O Scale early Alco S switcher with the "D.S. XXXX" side numbers like this one from Atlas HO:
But I would consider an EMD one too. I'll have to take a look at the WBB one you're talking about. Is it Scale?
It does look handsome. Here's the WBB picture:
But the WBB website says it's sold out?
