Yeah, the Conrail blue made it easy for you! I think for the Bachmann HHP-8 platinum mist is not an exact match, so I would have to blend it in with the rest of the body. Maybe I will try the polishing technique though.
Yes, they were definitely delivered with the logos, so you are good to go. For my era though (2011), they definitely need to go! One time I contacted Bachmann about the possibility of doing a run without the Acela logos, but obviously nothing materialized out of it. On a side note, I think their dark blue on those units may be too dark as well. Oh well.
Mine is definitely slower than the Atlas AEM-7. I think Kyle on the MLRR looked into the issue, but I don't remember the exact solution. Right now mine is currently apart. One of these days I want to try weathering it.
If you are looking for another HHP-8, I think some sites are trying to get rid of them. I remember seeing a good deal on TrainWorld not too long ago.
Nice pics! The second picture looks like a cool golden hour shot.
