ON Rail is a small railline operated in northern Ontario with a small roster including 5 -SD75I’s. I’m just wondering if anyone had modelled one of these engines, as I’m looking for a paint match and also a source for decals? I’ve been to a couple of hobby shops with no luck, the same with Athearn , who model the above engine in the Genesis.
Any information would be useful.

Higssy,
Did a keyword search in the Index of Magazines on the ONR. One of the 32 articles cited might hold some clues on the paint and lettering:
“Model an Ontario Northland Railway FP7. Part 2” Canadian Railway Modeller, September/October 1996, page 34 ( DIESEL, EMD, F-UNIT, FP7, “KAYE, MIKE”, LETTERING, ONR, PAINT, SUPERDETAIL, ENGINE,
LOCOMOTIVE, CRM ) (Added emphasis mine.)
