Hello All,
I have posed this question before...
Color of the Prime Mover?
Hope this helps.

Good Luck, Ed
I don't know specifically about US roads but here in Australia, New South Wales 12-251s were painted Grey while South Australian Alco prime movers were painted Green. I seem to remember Canadian motors were also Grey when I saw them in 76/77. Did not see many US Alco units back then!
Hope this helps
Thanks, Bear! That gave me the info I needed.

I have a couple of ALCo prime movers, a 12 cyl, and a 4 cyl and their generators I want to paint up in the right colors. Were the generators the same color as the engine? Thanks. Dan
