The details are now arriving about the deal between NP and G&G. Northern Pacific will stop in Gregg Junction to pick up passengers going both north and east. Much of the equipment that they will use has been used on their prestigeous North Coast Limited. SP&S has not given up and may also use the facilities at Gregg Junction. I am not quite sure why MRC is selling its stock of HO scale loco's for so little money. Retail they go for around $75.00 But the G&G will not complain. There is a hitch though that will need attending to.
The paint scheme for the MRC locomotive is not a match for any of the existing off-the-shelf NP passenger cars. At least none that I have been able to find. So that means that the NP is either destined to pull passenger cars that are not matching or we have to paint the cars to match. I would like to do the latter. The colors are:
Main color: Dark green-black
Thick stripe: yellow
Pin stripes: orange-red.
Mike I need you to air brush three cars!!!!!! Below is a mock-up of what the finished train will look like.
