Hmm, did CSXT go UP  anti graffiti on licenses? I know UP will not authorize official products that sport grafitti.

That's what I thought too.  I'm torn on ordering it.

Ah, MTL released the ICH covered hopper for which DKS did the basic artwork and I printed the decals few years ago. At least this time they didn't beat me to the punch line, but it almost seems that it is not worth doing custom graffiti decals anymore - MTL will eventually make them using their fancy ink jet printer.  :D

The prototype is CSX, but the MTL model is not CSX.

We felt the artwork was so strong but they were on roads that we cannot graffiti.  :D  I frankly was behind doing this the way we did instead of not doing them at all.  They can be remarked I supposed.

I went ahead and ordered it.  Will change out the hopper to CSX marks as needed.  My other ICH cars need some friends.

The word "Chessie" and the Chessie logo would probably need to be removed.

However, if you leave the "T" off of the "CSXT" reporting marks, you no longer have a car owned by CSX Transportation...

Looks familiar. Is that one of the decals I printed?
