    I do agree. Much better.

    I would guess that after a bit of time and weathering, this version could start looking almost black.

    I like that. Thanks for pointing it out. I can't say I'm a big fan of the pale blue version.

    OK, so PanAM/Guilford bought up all the surplus Jenks Blue from UP that was last used by MP.......I'm waiting for the white nose stripes to be applied next, and next thing you know we'll have MoPac engines again.

    Ha, ha!! I was thinkin' the exact same thing..."Hmmm, white nose stripes would look good on that nose.":rolleyes: Yes, I like the newer scheme too.

    Two options in my opinion.

    1. Maroon and black with gold multi stripes

    2. Harvest Gold and Pine green

    Oh wait that was done before Guilford.

    Growing up watching the B&M in NH, I've never been a fan of Guilford or the paint schemes. The dark blue does look Mopacish though.
