Current status of locomotives

the 261 was in its orignal green/white nya livery. the green was fading, the yellow primer was showing through, and you could in some spots see the old lirr blue/white livery. it was ratty looking. while it was out on the road, and then parked in brentwood, it was tagged heavily with graffitti on one side. when the unit made it's way back home, they decided to touch her up. well, it would wind up being that they re-painted her with a fresh coat of paint back to it's orignal nya livery, except they painted the the cab roof white. as for the other locomotives, i did not ask, or even think to, this was just a passing conversation killing time.

Here she is.. Taken WITH Permission

She looks nice, but I wish it was an Alco Century 420 with Hi-Ad trucks in that livery....

Get one from Atlas and paint it up, I think the trucks would be wrong though.
Nothings says you can't make a "what if" for your own enjoyment.

Anyone hear anything new on this potential genset?

One can guess that 9321 will become either the mother or slug of the set. It's been pushed far back in the west end of Fresh Pond, where it has sat for months now.
