Hello, all. I have a rather obscure request but I figure if I can get an accurate answer anywhere this is the place so here we go. Erie S-1 320 is one of the units on record as having been assigned to Harlem Station in the Bronx. In one of the Morning Sun New York Harbor books, there are photos of the 320 working the yard shortly after the merger still in full Erie paint. The 26, a GE 44 tonner, is pictured at the facility as well. The picture of the 26 is dated 1968 and it wears EL markings. My question is, before the 26 was assigned there, did the 320 continue in its Harlem Station assignment after it received EL paint? I ask this because a Proto 2000 model of the EL 320 is available and I have plans to model some of the New York City area off line terminals. I want to be as accurate as possible so I'd like to know if using the model in EL black and yellow would be correct.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
