Bi-Centennial Diesels

Yes, there were a lot of them.

Those were pretty cool.  The railroads really got into that.   Trains magazine did a group photo poster of a bunch of them together in Chicago.  The only one that I saw was the Soo Line's unit when it came to Marquette, MI.  

Hey Gary, that GG-1 okay with you?    Cause it's okay with me.

You do know this is a GG1 electric, not a diesel? This thread's topic is about bicentennial diesels.

Yeah, I know. Figured I would slip that one in.

I asked Sunset doing the Milwaukee bicentennial SD40-2 but I guess I am the only one as it has not been added to the website yet (which means less than 4 others have asked).

Jeez oh!

Electric is OK, with me. That GG-1 • Looks great. Even Lionel made a model.

Never has there been made a bad looking Bicentennial loc.

Just doesn't exist.

The Roster forgot three locomotives:  AFT 610, 2100, and 4449.

Plus the UP 951 as the Preamble Express 951 was a train to test routes for the AFT.  (Did the AFT lease the unit?)  Officially UP never on its own had a bi-cent locomotive.

No they did NOT "forget" AFT 610, 2100, and 4449 since the roster was for "Bicentennial DIESELS"!!!!!!

Well, I love the Conrail GG1, obviously LOL! And although they are all nice in their own special way, I really always did like the N&W scheme because of it's simplicity with out all the "bling" sorta speak.

MTH made Milwaukee Road SD40-2 no. 156 in its bicentennial scheme a little more than two years ago. Item no. 20-20412-1. Readily available.

Let's not forget the Long Island Rail Road! 

Looks like they swiped The Milwaukee Road scheme or vice-versa!
