Western Railroad Discussion > 5371 in the SUNDate: 08/19/09 17:18 5371 in the SUN Author: lizzard_45 Here are some more shots of the 5371. The second shot, of the trucks, shows that they are indeed silver/grey, and not just faded black.
And the rear shot, notice that the unit number is right there above the rear light! That's something that when they were in service, you didn't notice a whole lot. Enjoy.

I misspoke earlier, it's the 01504, and this would look great behind the 5371.

When a friend of mine saw her on Saturday, the 15th of Aug, she was facing south. Paul Liddiard Spanish Fork, UT Date: 08/19/09 18:55 Re: 5371 in the SUN Author: drgwguy So what's the deal with the 'grey/silver' trucks? What is being implied here? Rebuild 'hand-me-downs', or not an original DRGW loco? Have I missed something? Couldn't the 'grey/silver' just be the original primer finally coming out?
Someone please inform me, I'm a little confused....... Rick Date: 08/19/09 19:00 Re: 5371 in the SUN Author: dan simple truck swap, ex UP sd40-2 trucks were orginally painted silver then they adopted grey as a cost saving move after MOP-UP
