I remember what Joe went thru to get the first 4 Fl-9's painted,with help from the New Haven Tech and Historical group,
creating the materials and templates needed including the paint color codes from Dupont.
At a public meeting about the Danbury Branch in Danbury there was stiil a discussion of rebuilding some of the then stored 8600 class EMU's
as coaches for the 2 thru trains on the branch,BBD reps made a presentation of the Comet II design,then in production For NJT at that hearing.
The 8600's were still complete,with the PCB loaded Main Transformers,back then it was a major nightmare to dispose of them.
Later ConnDOT went with the BBD Comet II's/Shoreliner I's. The red used on the cars was the same red used by then PC/CR on the M-2's.
