Mar-16-02, 12:49 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Survey: The Best Real RR Paint Schemes" no, not my pic, it was e-mailed to me when I did the GP7 of that color, I later saw that it was the cover shot of one of the RI engine color guides...(I only have a freight car color guide)--it was $41 from the local RITS guy ($46 from Caboose Hobbies)I think some of these types were delivered w/ black trucks, then a special silver paint coat was applied later

Wouldn't it have been cool if SP had updated the the Scheme with Speed lettering And put it on its SD70's And Dash 9's.If we give All our Locomotives Bloody noses. Then we can forget all about that nasty buyout.

Mar-24-02, 01:34 PM (EST) 40. "RE: Survey: The Best Real RR Paint Schemes" I don't know, I think Chuck's locomotive had cylinders that were too large, and a wheelbase that was too short. Excess TE would result in a lot of wheelspin.
