toying with the idea of doing a Great Nothern Railway livery just to pass the time on a sunday night, anyone got images of a loco in GNR, all I find is model images which tend to make me think it did not run in that livery, can anyone confirm with an image for me?

cheers

Derek

There are some at Fallen Flags - does this help?

Nice idea Derek.
This would be the first official GN livery for RW.

Wikipedia says that GN owned 95 GP9s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_GP9

The GN Diesel Roster confirms and lists all the liveries for each GP9: http://www.greatnorthernempire.net/index2.htm?GNEGNDieselRosterGP9.htm

But please Derek do it in the classic "Empire Builder" scheme (orange and green) and not in that ugly "Big Sky Blue".

Agreed. Empire Builder is the best!

[Chessie8638]

Hey now I like the Big Sky Blue scheme, better then the Empire Builder Orange and Green.



But anyhoo, here are some more GN GP9's:

GN #680 w/ torpedo tubes: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... ?id=597083
GN #661 without torpedo tubes: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... ?id=598814
GN #679 w/ torpedo tubes in Big Sky Scheme: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... x?id=95965

Also here are the various logo's GN used on freight cars, locomotives, etc: http://www.gnrhs.org/logos.htm

Yessss! That's more than enough.
Of course, WP is my favorite. Must have been hard research to find several pics of them.
Thank you so much Derek.

You make me happy, you make me feel so fine.....

I wish one of then was a junker!

[Chessie8638]

The Rock Island is in there. Lol!

In all fairness they didn't call it "Bankruptcy Blue" for nothing.

Can't wait to get my hands on this pack, gonna be a favorite for sure. And hopefully we'll get some repaints soon after release.
