1-2 18:53:43	DAZed	well I love the early BN era with all the variety of legacy schemes. Likely one of the more popular few years to model there in the early 70s
1-2 18:53:24	GNFan	EB and BSB were for the passenger sets, although the boxcars were BSB with "Rocky" (the goat) prominently silhouetted in white)
1-2 18:51:50	rvn2001	We've been lucky to get into the 20s here.
1-2 18:51:22	ejshelton	Haven't come close to freezing here
1-2 18:51:05	rvn2001	I was wondering if there was more than BSB & EB.
1-2 18:50:57	DAZed	today it is though
1-2 18:50:55	ejshelton	Surprisingly still pretty and white.....Not like Chicago snow
1-2 18:50:49	DAZed	it's very unusual for snow to last a week after it happened here in Texas. The temp just hasn't gotten much above freezing since
1-2 18:50:07	ejshelton	I still have snow everywhere it wasn't plowed.....Just like Thom's
1-2 18:50:03	GNFan	Pullman green on the steam-era passenger sets (of course), EB, then BSB are the only ones I know for sure. The "circus train" test marketing had boxcars in brown, gray, barn red, deep green, orange, and...I'm leaving something out. No memory of what paint scheme they settled on.
1-2 18:49:48	rvn2001	The snow here has just gotten a little less deep.
1-2 18:49:09	DAZed	we still have snow on the ground in shady spots, and now we're hearing another blast is possible in two weeks
1-2 18:47:34	ejshelton	If its cold I prefer snow.....at least its pretty.
1-2 18:46:54	DAZed	I do like the Ferromex scheme. I've had the ES44 on my "maybe someday" list for quite awhile. And I can still get it for about $45 cheaper than the AC4400.
1-2 18:46:46	GNFan	Thom, 50 degrees and "rain stopping"'.
1-2 18:46:26	rvn2001	How many color schemes did GN have, Mike?
1-2 18:46:22	DAZed	Mike, agree on both counts
1-2 18:45:43	GNFan	GN's 2d best paint scheme - nothing beats Empire Builder, though.
1-2 18:44:41	ejshelton	The pretty blue sure was tempting.
1-2 18:43:54	GNFan	Yes, Doug. It's my turn to be picked on. :-}
1-2 18:43:42	rvn2001	Yeah...Doug's wallet has been getting emptied a lot lately.
1-2 18:43:04	DAZed	Mike, I'm glad AZL is coming after you now, and leaving me alone
1-2 18:42:24	ejshelton	Mine has enjoyed the garage.....and the plowed driveway
1-2 18:41:42	rvn2001	It made it through without any problem.
1-2 18:41:10	ejshelton	I'm sure old faithful did a good job
1-2 18:40:28	rvn2001	That made the first tire tracks in my driveway since the snow.
1-2 18:40:23	ejshelton	I haven't been out much either. Too cold and white
1-2 18:39:03	rvn2001	I left my house in my car for the first time since 1-22-2026 this morning to do my grocery shopping.
1-2 18:36:48	GNFan	I never thought I was rich!
1-2 18:36:02	rvn2001	I thought you were retired...
1-2 18:35:24	rvn2001
1-2 18:34:54	GNFan	One 'r' out of two, Thom.
1-2 18:34:28	rvn2001	It's a good thing you're rich and retired...
1-2 18:34:15	ejshelton	They're out to get you Mike
1-2 18:33:42	GNFan	NP boxcars too? Yipes! (My wallet is already weakened by a) replacing my tablet with something made in this decade, b) plane tickets to Chatanooga via Nashville, c) a play I want to see, and now d) GN GP30s and NP boxcars.
1-2 18:30:31	rvn2001	What about the NP boxcars?
1-2 18:29:51	GNFan	Not yet, Thom. But it will be shortly.
1-2 18:29:49	ejshelton	Of course
1-2 18:29:32	GNFan	Are we talking the GN GP30s in Big Sky Blue from AZL
1-2 18:29:25	rvn2001	Is your wallet lighter?
1-2 18:28:34	GNFan	Yup,, I'm here.
1-2 18:28:18	ejshelton	Hi Mike
1-2 18:28:09	DAZed	oh he made it!!!
1-2 18:27:54	rvn2001	Hi Mike.
1-2 18:27:42	rvn2001	That's a possibility...
1-2 18:27:39	DAZed	yep, can't reach the keyboard from the ceiling
1-2 18:27:17	DAZed	I feel like maybe somebody did a restart so maybe its fixed now
1-2 18:27:14	ejshelton	He must be too high to get to the computer
1-2 18:27:00	rvn2001	We were just discussing that.
1-2 18:26:40	DAZed	nice looking BSB GP30s
