My new N-ormal power roster

Starting to build my N scale roster up again since switching back to n scale

You've seen the beginning of my vehicle post with the trucks

Enjoy the pics

U25C

C30-7's

U30C to become a grungy bicentennial coal unit

C424 to modded on the long hood end and C420

And of course my hammerhead SD45's

Into the dip soon but it's the beginning of my power roster set in the fall of 1979

Later y'all

 

My freelance has returned with a vengeance

 

So it's been a long time since my last post a lots changed in my life ect ect

Anyways this atlas silver SD9 arrived it's in the dip

To go with my mtl SW1500

Also got some resin Horst bn gp10 style ox yoke air filters and angular spark arrestor

Getting back into an n scale shelf layout

 

Okay serious question for y'all

2 color choices I'm going to be looking at for my final paint scheme

Loosely based off the CP maroon and gray but with a few alterations starting with shortening up the lower maroon stripe to be more angle online with the upper maroon stripe

My primary color choices are

50/50 Erie Lackawanna maroon & caboose red

With gray nose stripe

Yellow pinstripes


Or

Erie Dark Green upper/lower green and nose stripes with ivory/tan nose and side stripe, white or deluxe gold pinstripes

Let me know your thoughts

 

The second choice, I think... the Greens

 

1 vote green and cream per se

 

I like the Erie two tone green paint scheme a lot more than the CP red and gray.

 

Cool 2 votes

But it's Erie Dark Green and cream or ivory

Not both Erie greens thanks though

 

I thought the cream was a very light green. I should have looked at some photos rather than relying on my memory.

 

I'm only using the dark Erie green not the light Erie Green

 

Got it! Dark green and cream would be very attractive.

 

This is what's giving me my idea

 

For what it’s worth I like that paint a lot.

 

Hmmmm?
Dark Green and Cream you say?

 

Nope not BN I freelance or protolance

Nice try @Allen H

 

I didn't say model BN, I was looking at the colors which you are asking about.

 

Sorry Allen I was just giving you a bad time
