I just received the new Broadway Limited EMD NW2 model, which I had planned to use to model D&RGW #100. However, it has tall exhaust stacks and vented hood doors, which the D&RGW NW2, made in Jan 1941, did not. I looked in Fulcomer's Colorado & Southern Southern Division Color Pictorial and found that this model appears to be very accurate for the C&S/AT&SF joint line switchers #150-153. These units were painted in the blackbird scheme when received in 1947, except that they did not have "Everywhere West" and "Way of the Zephyrs" on the hood sides. They also did not have the Burlington emblem on the cab sides but were lettered with C&S and AT&SF. They also came with the red and yellow horizontal striping on the side sills. Microscale's 87-609 decal includes all of the needed striping and lettering, including the white C&S and AT&SF initials. I can now paint my own joint line switcher.
