The "Big Sky Blue", white and grey scheme came about the beginning of 1967. I know the "Pullman Green and Omaha Orange", ("Empire Builder") scheme started in the early 1940's.

By paying Trainboard two dollars a month you can have a avatar done for you.

Did the green and gold scheme really ever end, as the GN never was fully repainted when the BN merger took place?

Can't seem to recall right now. When did it start? Was it with the dieselized post-WWII Empire Builder?

Per http://www.greatnorthernempire.net/ , the EB scheme came out ~~1940-41.. I just did a quick search on when engines were built, and what paint they wore...
