My very favorites have to be Chessie, Rock Island blue and the Southern Crescent green, white and gold. A good majority of us seem to prefer those as well-great minds think alike! Runner up would be BN. I do love BN's green, but it isn't quite as good as the others I mentioned. I'd never tell my parents, though, as both love BN green/black engines very much! <br /> <br />As far as those who've expressed an opinion on Penn Central's paint scheme, all I can say is...What paint scheme? <br /> <br />Seriously, though, I love PC's aqua green colour that they used on their rolling stock. Why didn't they paint their locomotives in it as well, though? It looks much better than flat black. The model train manufacturers seemed to agree, too, as many made green PC engines. I myself have a green PC F7 in HO scale and I like it a lot. I suppose plain black didn't look too bad on GP diesels, but F units, E units and especially GG1's are another story. A curvaceous engine like a GG1 should have a paint scheme that accentuates its figure...not bare black paint with the mating worns on the side.
