The "Appolachia Northern"
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, November 26, 2004 3:30 PM
My "Appolachia Northern" Railroad is a big coal hauler so when I came up with a paint job it was a no brainer:Just take the EMD FT(Mustard and Pullman Green) scheme and replace ELECTRO-MOTIVE with APPOLACHIA NORTHERN. But wait![:0] The C&O was a HUGE coal hauler and their old scheme was gourgeous(ie.the Yellow,Blue,silver,and black)so I cobbled a paintjob that was Yellow,Black,Red,and silver and was based on the FM trainmaster demo scheme([:D]I REALLY LIKE THAT SCHEME!!!). And then I looked at the C&O again and discovered before the C&O reverted to blue it was blue with yellow trim and a black underframe,so I took the EMD F7 demo scheme and made its paint job into the interim scheme.[:p]The first to get the FM demo scheme will be a trainmaster:ANRR 7143.The first to get the interim scheme will be an F7A/B [^]([:(!]Proabably would fade HORRIBLY in real life though!),and the unit that will get the final Pullman"Rainbow" Scheme will be F9A/B 103,and 104. I plan to get Geep 35's,38's,40's,and some ALCo's to replace the F's,RS1's,GP7's/9's,Baldwins,and TM's.[V]
