Following Walthers introduction of the DL-109 GMO, my family has given me strict instructions that it should be included on our freelance layout. Fine so far, but apart from the 109 unit I am having difficulty in details about passenger car type and color schemes for this road. All this is important as I shall be scratch building the cars. Any advice/assistance will be gratefully received.

GM&O heavyweight passenger cars were painted a very dark maroon color. The GM&O was purchased by the Illinois Central, which has subsequently been bought by the Canadian National.
There is a wealth of information about the GM&O if you simply type “GM&O” into Google.
Cacole,
Many thanks for the information on GM&O. Now the fun really starts!

There is a Gulf Mobile & Ohio historical society. I bet the members of it get a ton of stuff about equipment and colors

There are a couple of color shots in here. I model mostly passenger equipment and have found this site to be not only helpful but neccessary…
