    Twin brake cylinders on each truck and no outside brake hangers.

    I sure am enjoying this, Chessie! Thanks. [​IMG]

    Painters roulette? They spin the wheel, and where it lands, is the scheme then applied?

    How many places on their system do painting? This must indicate multiple shops?

    :D

    Looks like some of those SCL units saw some hard service in the 70's and early 80's!

    OK. That helps explain my confusion. :D

    I liked the one with leaning numerals. Reminds me of the Rock Island's speed lettering scheme.

    :D

    Gosh, how did I miss this thread?

    My favourite is the Seaboard System paint scheme. Quite a simple scheme, but those zig-zag red and yellow stripes make it look good [​IMG]
