Ugly???? I never saw the GP-40 or U23C's, but I was in high school when the
SD45's arrived on property in Lincoln, NE. WOW what
a change! This is from someone who thinks that the "blackbird" was one of the
more attractive paint jobs ever put on a diesel. The
new green units were so clean and such a dramatic change that they were
exciting to see. I enjoyed the red units and first learned to
paint HO models by doing red CB&Q's. The green certainly wasn't ugly -
especially when compared to the drab, dull black and green
that followed. My only regret on the green SD45's is that I wasn't much of a
photographer then and my only personal photos are little
"brownie" shots.
