NYA Engine Paint Schemes

I have been looking at some NYA pictures and have noticed that there engines are in different paint schemes. Will engines like 261 and 268 be getting the new paint any time soon? With some of the engines I can start to see the green faded so much the MTA blue is showing. I noticed they started to repaint and all of a sudden stopped after doing the 2 GP38-2 and the 2 MP-15s (I think 2 MP-15s)

I would think NYA would want to have matching engines like they once had, without any LIRR showing.

I was also wondering why engines with different paint jobs are spilt up for example. I have seen 271& 270 together and 268&261 Together and then 271 &268 are together. Any reason for this?

This is what I mean, the yellow and blue paint is coming through

This looks good.

Makes me long for the days of the "Radioactive" 151.

Ah yes, may she decontaminate in peace..

What happened? What is 151's status today?

Right now she looks good in here new paint. Wish the other looked this good.

Actually 3 of the NY&A MP15AC's are in the new paint, I assume 155 was left in the Green & White because the paint doesn't look like 159's did yet. And they don't always group the GP38-2s with different paint together, unless that's something new. A year or two ago, I saw 270 & 271, both in new paint, at Duke. But then again I just recently saw 268 & 271 together.

And what's with that yellow going through 261? The yellow on the Blue & Yellow paint scheme was never over there. Is that just primer or something?

Looks to me like primer that was applied over the LIRR paint .

Here's a video I made about the 151's paint, for those who haven't seen it.
