Worth considering with regard to Milwaukee Road: After purchase by Soo Line, the un-repainted MILW locomotives had three paint schemes I can think of:
1. standard MILW orange w/ black top

2. MILW orange with Hiawatha logo (my personal favorite)

3. "bandit", where the standard MILW orange was painted over only where the "Milwaukee Road" lettering was, leaving the rest of the body orange. This reminded someone of the face mask a bandit would wear to protect their identity, leading to the "bandit" nickname. This black patch job has worn poorly and most units still in bandit paint 30 years later are faded, peeling, and the MILW label is faintly visible.
You can find these in model, but they're likely custom. Check ebay.

Also worth noting: in 1955, Union Pacific shifted their passenger trains from a CNW routing Omaha-Chicago over to the parallel MILW. MILW, in their state of perpetual money shortage, started to paint their pooled passenger rolling stock in UP Armour Yellow. They realized it was cheaper to paint trains this way, so all MILW passenger trains - those to the north woods of Wisconsin and Michigan, Chicago commuter trains, and Milwaukee/Minneapolis service - were painted UP Armour Yellow with MILW lettering and logos. Obviously none of this was done under the auspices of CP, as the CP buyout happened well after MILW shifted their passenger trains to Amtrak and Metra. I'd leave it to the MILW experts to correct me if MILW had any yellow F's working freight at the Soo takeover.

And if you really want to have a go at some searching, look for a "Northern Alberta Railway" model. NAR was half-owned by CP and CN for quite a few years.
