Purple Locomotives!!

Those are "-9" units?

I thought they were SD90MAC with the 710 4300 HP prime mover!

Looks like EMD SD9043MAC's to me.

You guys are right - I edited the original post to say SD90

JZ, good idea. Here's one. Don

I thought you were talking about these:

 

 

I'm always interested in seeing more ACL purple

The Baldwin experimental steam at the Frranklin Institute in Philly was painted Purple in it's short service life. It was only painted black when it entered the museum.

You are correct Swafford:

CEFX

• 101-140 (SD9043MAC) (Lease Fleet)

More purple...Deltic 16 in the livery of Porterbrook, a UK equipment leasing company:

You and me both! Maybe Lionel will come out with a scale ACL GP-7 over the next few years. Would have to find parts for the headlight assembly though, I'm sure. MTH did an ACL GP-7, but on a GP-9 body. Go figure!

The CEFX SD90MAC look like Burgandy to me. Yes, there is blue in the red paint, but it is not enough to be Purple.

Well for a brief while (until my buddy Walt completes repainting it) the one eyed, one horn, flying purple people eater... The pictures don't do it justice. Dang, this thing is PURPLE!

 

I bought it with the expressed intent of repainting. I really look forward to being able to post pictures of his work. We are currently waiting for a set of custom decals to be produced.

 

Wonderful running little switcher with outstanding slow speed control.

21st Century diesel locomotive in purple, silver and black!

 

 

I have a purple steam locomotive, but every time I post its photo the thread stops.  I do like the ACL scheme.  My steam locomotive has a prototype, and it still exists, although it is now black.

Maybe Lionel will come out with a scale ACL GP-7

Larry,  we can only hope!  I have a Lionel Legacy Wabash GP9 that is scale and very close to my Atlas GP9, but with 2 GP9s now I was hoping to repaint it into a purple ACL unit, no such thing I guess.
