I'm starting out once again after a couple of decades being away from trains, and trying to learn as I go along, bear with this newbie please. I'm wanting to build an n-gauge KCS layout with two stations that I remember from my childhood. Accumulating data I'm finding that the Southern Belle paint scheme of black with yellow and red stripes, and a silver roof, is easy to find for the passenger cars(Con-cor only?), but no engine is available (that I can find) with the same paint scheme. <br /> <br />I don't remember specifically from my childhood what color the passenger engine was, but I don't think it was the yellow predominant color for the passenger locomotives that I am finding for sale. I can find pictures of the black engines on the web, so were there ever any n gauge engines ever produced? If not, what would be the best route to go in making one? I have no experience in miniature painting, but I guess I could give it a shot. <br /> <br />Thanks!! <br /> <br />John
