    were any of MoPac's SD50s done up in jenks blue or were they all done in the transition scheme? i have seen a few models, and they are all transition, but then again most of the pictures i saw were fairly late in that time period. i'm going to do some more hunting, but thought i'd see if someone knew off of the top of their heads. thanks!

    The SD50s and C36-7s all came in yellow.

    Maybe you could paint one in this transition paint scheme. ;)

    Or maybe this was from an alternate universe where MP took over UP?

    Call it modelers license. ;) I left the trucks and fuel tank black because I didn't care for the "All Blue" look. Lots of road grime and they look almost black anyway.....

    That's an interesting MP/UP locomotive.... it seems to be at Tower 55 in Ft. Worth, judging by the diamonds, the number of which and position would have been correct for that time period...

    Also note that the 'Union Pacific' lettering isn't level, and appears that it was painted on pretty quickly for the experimental paint scheme.
