Paint schemes worn by RS-3s


 

Hi!
?? Or family is moving so I had to pack away my N-Scale locos and cars. When packing up my D&H RS-3s I found I had them in the following paint schemes:

All Black
Black with yellow scare stripes
Lightning Stripes without any side numbers
Lightning Stripes with small, low numbers in Gothic
Lightning Stripes with small, low numbers in Railroad Roman
Lightning tripes with Large, high-mounted numbers
Overall Blue "Dip" scheme
Overall Blue Dip Scheme with Scare Stripes
P&W Patch
and Vermont RR Patch

My question is were there any others?

Thanks!

Bruce


 

"All black" came in a few configuration (in order of appearance).

Literally all black.
All black with yellow handrails.
All black with wide chevrons.
All black with wide chevrons and "RADIO" on the cab
All black with yellow handrails, no chevrons but "RADIO" on the cab.

The 4116 also became the Greenwich & Johnsonville in a orange and black scheme.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ed!
???? I had forgotten about the G&J. So I will need to do the G&J and Vermont patch .....as these are the only 2 I lack so far.
????? Plus I just learned about the short-lived ex-Conrail U33Bs. Found Images on the RR Picture Archive, and rr-fallenflags.org. These were acquired during the dark years of Guilford. DOes anyone know when they appeared and when they left?

Bruce,

Dad first had the U33Bs 9/24/84 and the last date was 11/22/85.

Hope this helps.
