Blue SD35

[NW Mailing List]

This is a pretty interesting thread.  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.

-Have a nice day!
