LIRR Geeps in HO

RPM2Night

You talking about the yellow nose with the yellow pinstripes trailing along the sides, and the sides being blue?

yes im talking about that scheme

yes thoes were the last colors some of the Fa's wore during there last years of service. I beleive thay called that the state colors, or somthing to that effect.

171 was the last 1500 remaining in thoes colors and sw1001 103 i beleive still wares that scheme also(?)

Ye Gods, yer taste be in yer mouths, laddies. The best FA scheme on the LIRR was the first; platinum with a blue streak and a yellow pilot. Trouble was, they showed the exhaust spatter so terribly. I reported in Extra 2200S, way back then that LIRR FA's were unbelieveably filthy. I have an FA that is currently in NYC livery, but will get the repaint sometime this summer.

This also accentuates why we need a plastic C-420 in powered and dummy versions. Running HO Push-Pull trains is a dog otherwise.

I had a UP FA that i sold too some one that the Bunit was already dummied
had i not sell them all i had to do was strip out the motor.

you can pick up a cheep B stock FA/B set in trainland and do the repainting your self.

Yes Lynbrook is sold out. You'll have to back order.[/list][/quote]
