Marshall;
Thanks! That information prompts further questions.
If one were to model this scheme in HO, would a dulux gold steam
locomotive set supply the appropriate lettering, or is there a better
way to go about it? (i.e. is there a set of decals for that scheme)
When was the blackbird scheme first applied to newly-delivered diesel
yard switchers and which engines were the first to be delivered in that
scheme?
Best regards, Rob Adams
