Seventies Paint Scheme

[MontRailLink]

I liked the Bicentennial paint jobs--definitely '70's' but probably doesn't count as a rail line.

Ever since about 1974 when I had a Tyco Alco C-630 in the Delaware & Hudson lightning scheme and got rid of it by mistake, I lived with a lifetime of regret until 2002 when I got an Athearn GP38-2 in the same scheme. Now I'm happy again. [:D]

My vote would have to be for Chessie but not like most of your votes. I vote for the only Chessie steam engine. ( I think ) It had dark red with yellow and of course, here kitty kitty[:D]

I think the Chessie scheme looks like it was invented by Tyco.In fact,the first time I saw that logo was in a Tyco train set.

Chessie System is the best by far. Especially the Ross Rolan steam engine painted in Chessie colors. However, the B7O royal blue is my all time choice.

Naturally CHESSIE and tomorrow I paint my white cat with the colorful paint scheme of a CHESSIE SD. Hope she will survive...

Southern Steam before Norfolk-Green,Red cab & gold lettering also 4501 steamer is one of the most attractive of the smaller engines still running today. Chessie is probably better known & having a kitty as your corporate image sure dosen't hurt anything.

Don't forget the two-tone red of the GM&O-up to Amtrak, the KCS scheme still seen.

MY name is Andrew Gregory,my favorite paint scheme of the 70's is Chessie System and the early 70's Western Maryland paint scheme. I'm from***berland,MD. So, in the 70's and first part of the 80's I saw alot Chessie,B&O.C&O ,WM and old Amtrak scheme. Until,today the CSX yellow nose 3 paint scheme is the best and Amtrak's Phase 5,paint scheme. I,also work for Amtrak ! But,I'm a Western Maryland RWY bluff.I model,WM,CSX every paint scheme,Amtrak every paint scheme,also the cute Chessie.But,also a little B&O! I foregot,about R,F&P.
