Hey thanks all!!

ok, well I like the blue and black combo, but I agree they need to add something on the nose, but it's new and yea I guess it looks as good as can be expected, from an Air line!

It's kinda like other guilford units. I mean it's a basic 2 color scheme. It's got the logo on the side, the MEC, The Number, and nothing on the front.

Maybe they could paint what's left of the Railroad police cruisers in PAN AM colors ? that would turn a few heads!! then people might think they actually still have a police dept after seeing a PAN AM POLICE cruiser.

H.A.P.T. team member Carl Harrison spotted # 505 on 11-7-06 at Danville
Junction,Me. He reported it on a few yahoogroups,Such as [email protected] or [email protected] ID was "POWA"I don't remember a post on it leaving Waterville.I hope
someone gives a heads up when it heads west towards East Deerfield yard.

I wonder why they would only put the "globe" on one side, and leave the nose so plain? Kind of "unfinished" looking. Oh well, atleast its blue.

I think they should put the globe on the nose with "PAR" in the middle of it.

Hello Nells and All:
I got the impression that this could be a work in progress. The person that I talked to also thought that the nose needed something.
I think that the logo would be a good choice for the nose but we will see.
