It just so happens that this afternoon, I picked up a mint boxed Atlantic Coast Line F3 dummy "B" unit to run with my "South Wind" AA unit. (Just like the PRR did from time to time.) I also was perusing shots of that train last week on the web and I saw an EMD PRR unit with no striping at all, which makes me feel a great deal better about my bare-bones Williams set which is plain Tuscan Red with only lettering on the sides. The second unit had the wide stripe on it. Both units must have been painted in a cost-cutting era. (1:00' = 1:00' and O guage... Not the wide stripe) I will post pictures when I make up the consist. I doubt there was ever enough traffic to need an A-B-A from Chicago, but...
(Sorry I got this in the wrong section, but that wind-up is something else. One wonders just how it made it through all the years in such wonderful condition. Enjoy!)
