That would look nice....once the engine under the paint is running right.

I'm not sure I really like the simple green MEC scheme...I'd go for the 3-stripe( green version of 573). Or what about the NHN scheme? 1757 will likely be delivered as such....it would be cool to have two 175x Locos painted in a CSRR version of the nhn scheme with angled nose striping on both ends

[steamer69]

That is a good idea, but as the conversation on here has been going....that's not "authentic".....

You are right though, I wouldn't think that 470 will poney up the money to paint the "donor" for Frankinengine just to turn around and scrap it out. I think that the "donor" will most likely stay in some sort of modified NHN scheme. If they painted the geeps, I kind of like the flying bananna scheme that is on #216 and #252.

Opening day today looked pretty sucessful. Pretty good crowd on both trains. 573 performed
well. She looks good, appears she had a wax job recently. Very nice day with pleasant temps,
plenty of sun, and no snow to be seen anywhere except in the distant mountains.

Here's a ten and one-half minute YouTube video of one
of the opening weekend Bartlett runs. #573 and the
coaches all looking sharp with Mr. Hood back at the
controls for another season.
