SAL DR 6-4-1500
Another 'what if' render. One of the Baldwin 'baby face' diesels in early and late Seaboard Air Line colors. There were only 9 of these ever built and on the SAL, they were only used for branch line passenger trains. This would make for a nice departure from my streamliners and allow me to build some old woodsided baggage and passenger cars that could also be used with steamers (hint hint). The top photo shows the citrus scheme (my fav, but I've already done the citrus 'Silver Meteor'). The bottom shows the late 'mint green' scheme, which is a bit deceiving because at the first hint of sunshine this scheme faded to essentially white. They both have advantages and disadvantages and maybe if I ever build it, I'll have weighed them and choose. This is a pretty simple WIP with scarce roof details and a few pieces in colors that don't exist, but easily substituted (like the orange nose curve).
