    I have seen gp9's and rs's factory painted with a black body and red cab. i seem to remember as a lad that the cab color was orange. What is the correct color scheme?

    Yes Paul, you are correct. Although the NH used a few different red and red/orange colors over the years, the GP9s and RS units you mentioned were the red/orange, not pure (Socony) red.
    To get an idea of the correct paints to use for the various NH units, check out the link below for Accu-Paints.
    Good luck,
    Bill
