Well, the waters got muddied and I got derailed a bit. Did the NH actually have a version painted as the Lionel version shows or is it Lionel literary license?

Do an internet search for "Images for New Haven Railroad EF-4" and you should find color photographs that will answer your questions. The model in the photo you posted is not an accurate scale model. New Haven EF-4s had three-axle trucks - the model in your picture has two-axle trucks. Your picture does not show the entire model but its colors and paint scheme look correct for a New Haven EF-4. The MTH Premier model whose picture I posted is a scale-sized model that closely resembles a New Haven EF-4. The most significant deviations from scale are the movable O gauge pilots, wheels for three-rail operation, and width of the (vertical) stanchions supporting the handrails.
