Blue SD35

[NW Mailing List]

I have shots of blue RS-11's and GP-9's but clean fresh paint would be a problem.  Please correct me with if you have conclusive evidence otherwise, but I don't recall any former Virginian Trainmasters being painted in the Pevler Blue scheme.  I have some missing units in my slide collection but of those I do have none are in blue.  The former Wabash H-24-66's that were repowered by ALCO were all painted in Pevler Blue (I have shots of all of them) and some of former Virginian H-16-44's were also painted Pevler Blue.

Regards,
Ed Painter

I'm not looking to get this thread off topic, but I'm considering moving my modeling efforts from modern NS to 60's-70's-80's N&W and I'm looking for some photos.  Would anyone happen to have any photos of a clean or newly painted blue GP9, RS11, or ex-Virginian Trainmaster? Any help would be nice.
