if you want to hold your investing to a moderate level, Marx made a somewhat accurate, though a bit compressed, E7 in WP green...

My wife has taken an interest in this railroad and when we are at train shows she frequently purchase train cars in this scheme (specifically, the paint schemes with the feathers). While looking online for an engine for her to purchase, I was hoping to come across pictures of WP diesel engines. Specifically, I thought I remembered seeing an F-unit that was not the typical silver/orange/black but instead dark green/orange/black. Searching for any pictures online didn't turn a thing in that scheme on F units.

I have no books on the WP and am not a big fan myself. However, I wondered if someone who is knowledgeable about the line could point me to some online resources that I could show my wife.

And am I dreaming about those green F-units?
