milwaukee road bandits

Which paint job is the one you call a bandit?  Can you post a picture so we know what you are talking about?  Another big Milwaukee Road fan.

Looks dead easy to me. Some black paint and a generic white lettering set, or Soo Line decals if you can find them. Start with a Milwaukee Road unit and repaint it the same as the real railroad did. 

I remember back in 2010. I was waiting to fly home to Sweden a few hours so i thought that I'll pass the time at Bensenville station. I took a few shots of trains but my cameras battery went dead. I then took a few pics with my Iphone. Five minutes later the police came as I had been reported. They said that real rail fans use real cameras and wished me a good day.

I have some shots of the bandit scheme from st Paul if interested.

when i saw this post i thought you meant Gov Ogilvie who was the trustee on the Milwaukee Road bankruptcy. he was rewarded over 4 million dollars for destroying the railroad and many employees never received the back pay they were owed. my dad and his dad had almost 89 years of service on the Milwaukee. my feeling forget that scheme!

on a lighter note, i spent many enjoyable hours at the Bensenville engine house as well as at the Western Av coach yard when you could take pics on rr property.
