Unread post by dalek ling »

Just read on the GLC railfan page on Facebook, looks like 329 is sitting in Cadillac getting repainted, something nice to share

I think that’s 394, it’s was still in ex TSBY scheme, rumors is it’s going to be GLC paint or even a AA heritage

I don't think it will be an AA heritage scheme (would like it though). I suspect it will either be a TSBY blue/yellow or TSBY black/yellow scheme.

Well leaks are that it’s “The City of Clare” scheme, looks pretty, don’t know what 329 is but people think it’s going to be a bridge paint to mix both the original scheme, and the current scheme that’s on the SD35’s, but also people think it’s going to be another heritage

A bridge between their actual scheme and an MRL patch job seems unlikely.

Ya, there were reports that the nose of 329 was a navy blue, almost like WABASH :D

I saw a post by a Parker Eling who claimed to work for GLC that boasted of a new GLC “HU” scheme for 394. I think that this Parker Eling, whomever he is, is the logical information lean for the new scheme.

That’s me, I never claimed to work for the railroad, I just posted a leak from a “former” rail employee

As the youngsters say these days: "pics or it didn't happen!" :lol:

No matter what scheme(s) these units debut in, it's great to see GLC's investment in their fleet and image.

If this thing is being painted outside today, maybe I make a quick trip down there to grab photos. Who's interested in seeing pics?? :)

I’ve heard it’s still in the barn, but it doesn’t hurt to check

I can't imagine they paint in that tiny barn with no paint booth, just for OSHA reasons alone. If there was a good chance it's outside today I'd drive down from TC to grab a few pics. It's 45 minutes each way and gas, so...
