Hey NS guys, a paint scheme question

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Hey all. This question is directed towards the Norfolk Southern guys. How many different paint schemes have been used on their armada of C40-9Ws? I have seen the “catfish” scheme, “horsehead”, “whiteface” and the apparently very rare Operation Lifesaver schemes on locos here in my hometown, i am just wondering if there were any others? And no, primer dosent count!

Thanks!

Hey,

I’m a conrail guy but I follow NS and CSX a little, and I believe you have all the paint schemes

I think you’ve gotten all of them.

Yep that is all of em, the C40-9w’s are a little too late for My Pike, I model the transition period between Sou/NW. You see very shiny new NS paint Schemes with Old Sou and NW hood units.

In honor of the Southern, i shall run some dash 9s backwards[:)]

Thanks all, not sure why, but i just love NS dash 9s, and wanted to have one representative of each paint scheme. Thanks again!
