Looks like they fixed the B&M font as well. According to reports the 382 is currently in the booth

Now in the PAR scheme i can't find any name ???The observation car 100 never had a name, even when it was a D&H car. The other car 101 was named "Northpoint" after Pan Am's big real estate project in Boston. We all know how that turned out, and, like many other things in Guilford's history, I think Pan Am would prefer to forget about it. Neither car now has a name. IMHO, both cars are now much more handsome than they were with that oversize "Guilford Rail System" on the side.
Just wondering, which car was "Northpoint," and what was the name of the other?

Though, it is unconfirmed visually, but by the sounds of it the MEC 382 is out of the paint shop and back into service working in Northern Maine.Looks like the 382 is out and about. CN9634 if your still in Orono, be on the lookout, it should be up your way soon!

Looks good none the less! I wonder if they kept the Flashing ditch lights and I also wonder what the horn sounds like
EDIT: Note the unit has gained an old crappy plow!

I think it looks better than the small strips of tape on the Pan Am units. But, again, Pan Am's choice is not surprising. It all boils down to cost. I don't know how much 3M Scotchlite tape costs (I assume that's what they use), but I'm sure they only use the small strips because that's the bare minimum they're allowed to get away with under FRA rules. A solid strip from end to end would just look so much nicer.
