    Not sure where to look for this info... thought maybe one of you BN fans might know of the top of your head.

    Asking because I just got 2 undecorated trainmasters.... thinking about maybe a BN anniversary car.... or just a unique/special BN paintjob.

    Nope. BN, GN, NP, SP&S, CB&Q, etc., never owned the FM Trainmaster.

    You can pretend it's the 1970's. The decade after merging, there was a great variety of predecessor company power. An FM H24-66 would have probably been just as impressive as a C636 ALCo in the BN paint.

    :D

    I would number them in the 2400s. Lots of BN junk had horsepower based numbers.

    Or pick a number series unoccupied by any locos. 2400-series in fact, is unoccupied, as is 800-series, 1200, 1600, 3200-3400, 3600-3900, 4400, 4600-4900, 7400, 7700, 8200, 8400, 8600-8700, 9100, 9300-series.
    Good luck!

    Mike,

    That's an interesting variation on the standard BN paint scheme. I like it!
