1776

[NW Mailing List]

Ed,
 
I may have miss spoken. Right now I understand that they are planning to  
get copies of my drawings. I also spoke with one of the contractors today and 
I  will be providing lettering files for the 1135. At least the lettering  
style will be correct. Of course, the blue fades so fast it may be correct  
by the spring! LOL
 
Thanks,

I’m  surprised they didn’t take you up on the offer or replied that they 
already  have a set drawings.  You are correct, all the paint manufacturer’s 
(I  recall DuPont?) information for each color of paint used was listed on 
the  drawings.

Ed,
 

 
I  have offered a copy of the painting blueprints to the VMT if they need 
them.  This drawing does list the colors as well. I don't know if NS still 
has  that in their archives.
 

 
Thanks,

I  have a copy of the N&W’s original 1776 blueprints (including a star  
template) for painting it into the bicentennial scheme  (somewhere  between 
Arkansas and Georgia).  It included the specifics for the  paints/colors used.  
Would this information be of any value if I can  find them?

So  far just about everything they VMT has repainted has been the wrong  
color
 
Instruction  Car, 1135 and the 1776 if some one doesn't help them out .  
 
Richard  your down there see if you can steer them in the right direction.  
This
 
stuff  is not rocket science.

Maybe  if it goes to Chattanooga the color will be  correct...
 

 
The  paint they have on the 1135 is nowhere near correct for N&W  blue.
 

 
Thanks,

NW  1776 will be moving today from the Virginia Museum of Transportation to 
 Shaffers Crossing. 

Following one or two days of attention to its  trucks it will move to 
Chattanooga for repainting.
