[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bobindy tabiery, Excellent information! I was wondering if they mixed the E-6 with any other units especially the E8 and FP7. Do you happen to know if they all carried the purple and silver paint? My duagter (3 years old) loves to run the trains with Daddy and what a great reason (excuse?) to add a few more engines to my collection. I'll just have to tell the wife that our daughter loves the purple engines, and well, its for her of course. Thanks again! Bob [/quote] All passenger service locomotives (1939-1950) were delivered in the purple livery from EMD. However locomotives (some E8 A&B )purchased second hand in the mid 60's from MKT and RF&P were not. After a trip to Florida in 1956 on the West Coast Champion I picked up a Christmas set made by Varney. It was a A-B set of purple [:D]ACL F's !! tom
