I don't have 240, but here's 261 in August 1969 and May 1970 showing both sides.

Hol,
I am modeling 240 and 261, both are reported as still in the blackbird scheme at the time of the merger. I am specifically modeling 1967 so any late 60's information would be useful. I have pictures of 240 in 1965 still wearing the original sill number, in
the absence of other information, I would suspect it remained that way until the merger.
Thanks,
Ricky

Hol,
Thanks.
I have an inquiry out to some folks in Omaha that might have photographs of the two motors I am modeling (240 and 261). It seems the Lines West motors are a bit more shy about getting their pictures taken than the Lines East
🙂

I can move the start date back to at least 1958 with this Bernard Corbin photo at Barstow on Aug. 31, 1958.

All,
I am in the process of renumbering some Walthers GP7s. The stock model has the black number on the sill in the yellow band. However, it appears the Q started moving the numbers below the herald on the cab and they are white, like the SD7/9. When did the
Q start changing over the style? I have found pictures of the early style as late as 1970 and the newer style as early as 1960.
Thanks,
Ricky Keil
