1. Without a doubt the most popular diesel paint (_ _ _ _ _ _) of the postwar era was the passenger colors of the (_ _ _ _ _ - _ _) Railroad.  It appeared on Lionel’s (_ - _ _ _ _ _ _), (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Flyer’s Alco PA’s and the (_ _ _ _) No. 21 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) FT, which had (non-prototypical) simulated (_ _ _) wheel trucks.
2. Lionel’s No. 2334 (_ _ _ - _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) F3’s had a (_ _ _ _ _ _) box for the (_ _ _ _) in the powered (_ _ _ _ ‘ _) fuel tank.
3. American Flyer’s No. 370 of 1950 was the first (_ _ _ _) modeled by a “Big-3” postwar manufacturer.  AF’s GP-7 wore a decal with the (_ _ - _ _ _) shield logo under it’s side (_ _ _) windows.
4. Lionel’s first (_ _ _ _) was patterned after a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) model rather than the passenger version.  Called the “(_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Set” by collectors, the No. 1464W wore lettering for the (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) Railroad on the flanks of the No. 2023 diesels.
5. Debuting on the cover of the Lionel 1954 catalog, the No. 2321 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Railroad (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _) H-24-66 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) pulled set Nos. 2219W, “The (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _)”, and 2223W, “The (_ _ _) (_ _ _ _)” that year.
6. (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) diesels pulled Lionel’s No. 1520W and (_ _ _ _ _ ‘ _) No. 2202D (_ _ _ _ _) Special sets plus Lionel’s magnificent No. 2296W (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Pacific Super-O set.
7. American Flyer modeled a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) diesel for their No. 335 C&NW in 1957 while Lionel chose the (_ _ - _ _ _) for it’s MagneTraction equipped No. 622 (_ _ _ _) EMD (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) in 1949.
8. It’s too bad Lionel never chose to produce matching passenger cars to accompany their Nos. 2240 (_ _ _ _ _ _), 2345 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) Pacific, 2368 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and (_ _ _ _) and 2378 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _) F3 sets.
9. Only Lionel chose to model a General Electric 44 (_ _ _ _ _ _) during 1956 and 57: the Nos. 625 & 627 (_ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _), 626 B&O, 628 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Pacific and 629 Burlington.
10. If you like yellow and blue, the Nos. 2322 and 2331(_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Train Masters and the No. 614 (_ _ _ _ _ _) RR NW-2 are for you.
11. For lovers of (_ _ _ _) and orange, check out the Nos. 2341 and 611 diesels of the same types lettered for the (_ _ _ _ _ _) Central Lines.
12. And if the combination of (_ _ _) and black is your thing, then the No. 601 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) NW-2, (_ _ _) in 1956, is for you.
