New CSX Paint - Possible Future Lionel/MTH Models? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

All,

I was browsing the forum and ran across a mention of two new CSX locomotive paint schemes (The original mention was made by forum member DAS BOOT). I wanted to start a new post and let those who haven’t seen these new locomotives a chance to offer their thoughts. Personally, though a bit late to the party, I think CSX has done a nice job on these engines and I hope Lionel and/or MTH makes scale models of both.

Here is a link to the press release:

Enjoy the images.

I work in downtown Nashville within view of CSX's Kayne Avenue yard, next to the Union Station Hotel, and I have never seen either one of those units. Are they brand new?

It seems to be only a week or so old at best. This article in the Herald Dispatch is dated for May 2, so it could be that people just haven’t seen the locomotives yet as they are relatively fresh out of the shops.

Hopefully Heritage CSX units will follow. Maybe leadership at CSX now sees the positive publicity that a few paint jobs can bring.

Being a Veteren I like the digital paint scheme of 1776. The 911 scheme is very nice also.

I like to see Lionel and MTH make them both in scale.

I like the 911 CSX unit myself
