Note that the McGinnis paint scheme on Brian’s ALCO PA model (first photo) has the red band on top and the white band on the bottom. My MTH model (second photo) has the two colors reversed. The first two PAs repainted into the McGinnis scheme were done like Brian’s, but the white band on the bottom quickly became dirty in service. So, the colors were reversed on New Haven PAs that later received the McGinnis scheme. Other diesels, such as EMD FL-9s, Fairbanks-Morse CPA-24-5s and ALCO FAs, also had the red band on the bottom. EP-5 electrics had it on the top.

Here are my Lionel NH PA's... Luckily, they run on a meticulously maintained, spotless layout and will NEVER get dirty regardless of any amount of service Personally, I think I prefer the white on the bottom.
