Re: AA roster summary
Basically those units used the blue/gray/white Wabash colors but substituted their own logo in place of the Wabash's. Here is a photo of one from the Fallen Flags website of it:

Re: AA roster summary
Because we now have less track and work to do we have down sized, but one engine has been saved from the sale heap and received a special paint scheme in honor of our owners and presidents alma mater.
SW 1500 1849 is now in an "Ypsilanti Braves" paint scheme
This engine will be stationed in the yard at Ypsilanti for any duties that might come up there, also it will be used to switch our business train which has an indoor storage building on the Hillsdale/ Ypsilanti branch. (mp 3 or so on the branch we have a 1500 foot building with 4 tracks in it, so we have a 1550x100 foot building with 4 tracks and about 6000 feet of rail in them. Along with 2 outdoor tracks)
Also AA has purchased a F7B for our business train for added power. our train will be expanded with excess cars that we now have.

Re: AA roster summary
Do you mind if I use that F40PH scheme on an N scale model? I was thinking about it before, but now I'm settled since I'm getting a crappily painted Amtrak F40 and I plan to use this. Any copyright issues or anything? Just don't want to get sued

Re: AA roster summary
I like both of your heritage GP35's
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
