Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS 2524Date: 07/21/04 05:39 NS 2524 Author: junctiontower I took some pictures of NS SD70 #2524. The number board area was painted white, but the rest of the unit was in it's original paint. Anyone know why?
Date: 07/21/04 06:00 Re: NS 2524 Author: Cameraman From your post it sound like you are talking about the new offical paint scheme of NS. The lastest change, if you have not been following the numerous reports on TO, is that all future NS units will have this area white, both wide nose and standard cabs.

Brian Date: 07/21/04 08:35 Re: NS 2524 Author: Cameraman I suspect if any area of the cab is touched up it will be given the white -- even if the entire unit is not repainted.
if I am not mistaken a couple of units got the white before the side NS decals came in. Date: 07/21/04 19:23 Re: NS 2524 Author: junctiontower Why would NS just touch up that area when, like most all of the original 70's, the whole unit needs painted?

That NW sublettering is odd... a shop mistake? |
