I'm undertaking a paint project--create a facsimile to the Great Northern Empire Builder using a variety of LIONEL F units and 15" aluminum passenger cars.
Although I'm not working in true O scale, I will try, in some respects, to be true to the prototype--although I do take license to introduce some fantasy elements.
Seems if one searches photo sources, it is difficult to tell the true colors of the striping used on the locomotives and passenger cars.
An email to the GNRHS generated several prompt replies loaded with great information.
THANK YOU, GNRHS!!!
