Which paint scheme? I looked for photos on Google and found several different LSRC paint schemes.

i happen to like the cn inspired paint it looks really sharp especially on the M-420's,C-425's and the retired C-420 though now retired :(

on the other hand due to the painting of 975 maybe they'll keep a few RS 3's around a little while longer :wink: which to many alco fans is a sigh of relief :-D

adding to an old post.. 371 has the best paint out of any loco on the LSRC, even though its an EMD, it looks the best I think. Also, Begining with the 2003, the CN style stripes are NO MORE. Only nose and rear stripes and a frame stripe. A bare long hood with a dual LSRC/SBS logo now.

I guess because the Lake State is slowly turning EMD, the newest paint scheme will never be seen on an Alco.
Because of this, I am forced to lock the thread. If anyone can show me an Alco on this railroad with this new paint scheme , I will consider unlocking it.
