Re: [CBQ] GP7 livery

Colin,

I was unable to find a photo of the model you have as it appears that USA Trains has the correct scheme in their current run.  From what you have described, the paint is not correct.  I have not seen evidence of "Burlington" being used in lieu of "WotZ" and "EW," in the Blackbird scheme except for, as you mentioned, om switchers.  The Redbird scheme does use "Burlington" on the sides, but has a solid white stripe and not angled.  It seems to me they used the Blackbird paint with the Redbird or switcher lettering.

Hi All

Can anyone comment on the accuracy of the livery on my USA trains GP7?

The loco is in the blackbird scheme except it has "Burlington" on both sides of the long hood instead of Everywhere West etc and it also has what appears to be the switcher livery with angled white stripes instead of the straight red/ yellow stripes. I suspect this and this and the road number are bogus, so far I've not come with any photographic evidence to confirm the correctness of the livery. but I'm not expert to say for definate

Many thanks
