Picking a loco and a paint scheme the US Navy actually used

Any USN diesel models...should be painted yellow with black lettering (although RMT also did a few BEEPs and matching caboose) in postwar toy train blue).

Genset, SW-7/9/1200 other than Baldwin VO or S switchers and GE-44 tonner. Not really any 'road' GP diesels are/were used.

RMT made 3 BEEP #s (7-8-9) in yellow painted/lettered for NWS/Naval Weapons Station-Earle and a matching Earle caboose #63-00239. RMT photos above.

Lionel/MPC made SW-7 (NW-2) switcher in correct yellow/black a few years ago that you can still find on secondary market.

Thanks! I’ve got a few of your Pearl Harbor Blue Beeps, the caboose and the boxcar. My daughter runs one under her tree. It’s cat proof! I’m always peeking back for the NWS Earle stuff. When it pops back up, I’ll be there. 

I’ve got Navy and Naval saved on that secondary site. The Post War Alco diesel AB set in Blue always pops up. So does the starter set NW2 with the calf. That’s why I’ve decided to go with a repainting.
