Any modelers out there that want a unique, real world paint scheme to try their hand at? How about BNSF 4729? This unique unit originally wore the Heritage 2 (orange and yellow) paint scheme until sometime in 2019. The entire long hood was removed when it was in the shop. The removal of the long hood is quite common as it exposes the entire prime mover. Sometimes, the long hood will be replaced with one from another unit. Perhaps the hood itself needed additional repairs. When the long hood from a unit with the same paint scheme is used, it likely is not noticed. However, for whatever reason, the long hood from a Warbonnet was used on this particular unit.
