There is a thread about the shades of blue paint used in the last years. I have seen issues of Extra 2200, which had mentioning of repaints. I have been thinking about modeling the B&M in this era. Is there a list of which units were repainted when?

It seems like it is hard to track. Bluebirds got blue dip, bicentennial, orange steps, and finally the last scheme had variations of either a white stripe or BM on the ends.

200s were repainted in the last scheme.

When did the 300s get the black sill stripe, and the McGinnis logo on the cab sides was replaced by the number?

If there was a guide, or someone kept a log, it would be appreciated.

Sorry this is such a broad question. Maybe on my layovers I can look through photos and try to date the repaints. Then I could somehow post a spreadsheet of them.
