Thanks for the update Rich! This is great news! Since there is only one of each heritage unit on the U.P., it is the right thing to do and a smart move by Lionel. It will make the scale conversion easier not having to correct the road number. While out of my modeling era.....The M.P. unit and the S.P. unit will make an appearance from time to time. Living near the U.P. main to Longview, TX and points north for a number of years, I was able to photograph and video all of the U.P. heritage units at some point including the U.P. #4141 which is the George H. Bush Library unit. These units sure do liven up the normal Yellow Engine Parade... Danny Click

The mistake was caused by artwork from an O Gauge catalog. The actual models will have the correct, prototype numbers based on the year the railroads were acquired by UP - not their founding dates as shown. Thank you to all who wrote in and asked!"
