Model Railroading > Virginian paint on NS heritage ACEs ?Date: 06/25/16 19:48 Virginian paint on NS heritage ACEs ? Author: SD45X Did all three HO ACe builders get the blue tint right? Or which one is better looking paint? Not really interested in running quality. Athearn Bachman or MTH. Just want a decent display piece.

> right? I hope not! Blue and yellow is purely Lionel and other tin plate - yeah, it's pretty. Black diamonds were Virginian's cargo. Black and yellow are the colors.
