HO Scale GP-38 271 & 261

They're back in stock at TrainLand, but at regular price.
271 has the special decal on the side too.

I hope that some major model manufacturer will come out with the new paint scheme for the MP-15s and GP-38s. (preferably with sound and DCC)

There was a nice picture of all 3 newly painted units in the February issue of Railpace (?) .....one of the major train magazines anyway.

Picked up Walter's catalog this week, inside is a GP-38 in the old blue stripe LIRR colors 256 & 271 (I think).

It was 257 and 271,they have great detail.

Highball Graphics has produced the decal set for the "new" black, green and white paint scheme for the GP-38s and MP-15s.

They also have the original green and white scheme decals with the correct size "diamond" logos. The Athearn ones are too small.

Does anyone know what color "green" is used on the new paint scheme?
It is definitely darker than on the original color green.
