    Forida East Coast's red and yellow scheme of the 1950s is nice. They've repainted a new loco in that scheme within the last few months.

    I've always thought the Mobile and Ohio maroon scheme was nice. However, my favorite all time scheme is Southern's black and white tuxedo scheme on their E and F units.

    Mine has to be the Arizona & California locomotive paint scheme! It's a VERY good looking green with white, silver and some yellow.

    It would have to be a tie between N&W dress black and NS dress black, with a second going to Southern's tuxedo black,aluminum, and dulux gold- so many SE roads so little time. Y'all have a good one, Justin May

    Rob, the Lowey scheme... yes!
    But I have to stray to Soo Maroon and Dulux Gold, or the BN exec scheme.
    Then again, MRL... [​IMG]

    Chessie,

    Just for the morals of it, I have to reply!

    After IMing I am sure you know I am not a Chessie paint fan, but agree that the Warbonnet isn't the nicest thing on the planet. In fact, the blue and yellow one, or the Orange (Red?) and yellow one almost made me puke. It was so bad that I thought the VOMIT BONNET looked good!

    Happy Railroading!

    I showed a pic of one to my dad, said "Hey, can we model this scheme," and he quickly replied "eek, I aint paying for the paint!"

    I laughed

    Happy Railroading!
