Voila the Guilford Gp40 railsmurf unit:

I like the smurf look better than the Guilford grey.

HOHUMM! Another blue unit with white letters....sure does the PANAM name proud...hope it makes them glad they sold the name to Guilford!

Not B&M but better than before

What a sad tribute to what was once America's premier airline. It looks nice, but looks more appropriate on a Clipper, such as a 747 or 727.
Juan Trippe is rolling in his grave........

I think Kilroy just named the new PanAm units SMURFS!

OK!...."smurfs" it is!

It's not bad but the nose really needs a logo or something! I was hoping they would come out with a little "classier" scheme.

When I did a model of "what if"...I basically followed the curret big G style.
Gray bottom B&M blue top, instead of gray and a white stripe, where the orange is. I replaced the big "G" with the white Pan Am logo. For my taste, it's a lot "dressier" and sharper looking.

Take a look:

It is just another reasons that locomotives are designated by "series" rather than by "class" today.

When are they going to attach the wings?

I'm waiting for someone to photoshop a GP40 with the jet-pod that the NYC tried to attach to an RDC car on its roof.

I know this off topic, but that jet pod on the New York Central came from a B-52.

Guilford, oh, I mean Pan Am should consider using surplus B-52 jet engines. The only problem is that I don't think you can keep those things throttled at 10 mph for long

The paint scheme, though better than the black/gray and orange, it looks as if it were just slapped together. Simply no imagination. I liked paulrail's rendition.

I'd love to take creidt but it wasn't me Otto, it was Dutch that named them smurfs.

Credit for "SMURFS" transferred from Kilroy to DutchRailnut. Thank you for using RAILROAD.NET.
