Need info from modelers in the NW
Posted by csmincemoyer on Friday, April 8, 2005 7:27 PM
I'm a Seahawks fan living in PA and I know the regional train system had a pretty neat Seahawk paint scheme on at least one of the P42's. Do you know if a model with that paint scheme is availble in the NW area?

Thanks in advance

The locomotive you refer to is used in Sounder commuter service and it is a F59ph like the Athearn model. I know of no painted models or decals available for this locomotive. Sorry. I was trying to find a link to a photo for you-I'll keep trying

Yeah, I've seen the loco as well, but don't know of any decals or photos. Since I live down in Olympia, I'm not certain I can help, but will check the local sites.

Thanks guys.......I've seen the pictures on Seahawks.com and I just think it's an awesome paint job, especially for a 'hawk fan[8D]

Hey schmo6,

Thought about someone making my own decals, I know when the new uniforms/colors came out the vendors for the 'hawks official merchandise were having problems matching colors, etc....I'm pretty close to Buffalo, and seems you can get almost anything and everything around here in Bills colors, was hoping for the same!
