@WesternPacific2217 posted:Vern, I hear ya, doesn't seem to be a lot of Southern Pacific roads in O scale! Which is strange, it was a huge railroad until Union Pacific gobbled them up. One day I hope to pick up a standard SP work horse Pacific Class, like 2472, that is still in operation with the PLA. And I would love to have a Lionel Legacy SP GS-X (X=2, 3, 4, 5, 6) in just plain old black. And then some Pullman passenger cars like might have been seen on the San Francisco to San Jose commuter trains in the the day.
That would be great, Scott. I guess we can always hope.
I'd even like to see the SP F diesels and passenger cars in the silver with redish-orange stripe livery that was used after the Daylight colors, but I'm not holding my breath. In the summer of 1968, I took an espy San Francisco Peninsula commuter pulled by a GP-9, from Redwood City down to San Jose, then changed to espy's Coast Daylight to Paso Robles. The Daylight at that time had the silver and stripe livery. But I've never seen that espy paint scheme modeled in any scale. Ah, the good ol' days. 😉
