As everyone has guessed by now I'm a big New Haven Fan. Since I recently got an American Flyer 4635 in an auction it had to end up in an NH paint scheme. Below is how it turned out
This 4635 came with a chassis that had a reverse unit so the lever that is sticking out the front is the reverse lockout. I could have and probably should have wired the reverse unit off and left the lever off but since it was there I made it work. Eventually I'll turn the body around so it is less obvious. The inspiration for this paint scheme was the O gauge NH Lionel fantasy Bi-Polar. This locomotive isn't nearly as large as a Bi Polar but I think it looks good. Next will be some passenger cars to go with it. During the McGinnis era the NH experimented with some passenger car paint schemes that included white panels along with the usual black and orange I'm looking for pictures if anyone has any.
