North Pole Central GG1? Hmmmm...

I'm thinking all red with green cat wisker stipes and the NPC in the middle.  "Sorry" I can't even draw a good stick figure!

too bad you cant make it look like a giant electric candy cane with pans!!!

Why can't I?  I bet that would look really nice!

Thanks,

Mario

If you want to pull the NPC "reindeer" cars, I'd paint it in a NYC "lightning stripe" scheme kind of like a combination of the schemes on the photos I've linked to on the railpictures.net web site:

The first photo is a NYC P2a in the "lightning stripe" scheme.

The second photo is a NYC F3 in the "lightning stripe" scheme.

The third photo is a PRR GG1 in the 5 stripe scheme.

I'd do a lightning stripe kind of like the NYC F3, but double ended like on the P2a. The "NORTH POLE CENTRAL" lettering and engine numbers would below the stripe. The NPC logo would be on both ends in the same location as the PRR keystone on the GG1. You could add a NPC logo on either side at the center of the locomotive above the lightning stripe like the PRR keystone on the GG1.

The locomotive color would be red to match the passenger cars, and the "lightning stripe" would be green to match the passenger car. Lettering and numbers would be white.

Yes, a NPC lighting striped P2a (Red, with green/white stripes) would be ideal, but I don't know of any P2 bodies that will fit the WBB GG1 chassis.

Oh, and it wouldn't be the first GG1 painted in the Lightning Stripe...Morlitz Central #4906.

Thanks,

I think a giant candy cane theme would be perfect.

I'd buy a candy cane striped one in a heart beat! A set of candy cane striped passenger cars behind it would look really cool! And putting a Christmas wreath on the nose would be nice too. In fact I just remembered i have a stripped Williams GG1 shell I was saving to do a Santa Fe warbonnet scheme on but the candy cane is also a possibility.

Can we get anyone to draw us out a candy cane striped theme, either similar to the new RMT PRR "buy war bonds" paint scheme or a CN-type (with flat green on the noses for anti-glare) with red / white on the sides, or possibly close to the existing Lionelville Peppermint company tank car.

Darn nice...

Then we can get the outlaw painter, Josie Wales to paint them up for us...  Make mine unit #1225, please.

I was thinking something along the lines of...

No offense Mario, but I like the candy cane with red much better than that one.

i was trying to match the Lionelville Peppermint Company tank car:

How's this, better?

I'm not liking the colored top, I'd like to see the stripes extend all the way around.

You're killin' me!

I think it needs a green top to match the cars...
 

Plus, I'm thinking the stripes need to go in the same direction all the way along the length of the body like a candy cane.

ok, I'm thinking you guys are pulling my chain now...

Here's the blank one... you show me!

I like the car without the colored top, I think that detracted from the look.

HEY GUYS wait until you see the Christmas GG-1 i'm prepairing to have lionel produce for a 42 year old club who's initials are LC. oops can't finish the initials because when i mention that club the threads i write get pulled.

working on the art as we speak

A Christmas GG-1?  Sign me up!  Hope it's CandyCane PRR.
