Ed,

I may have miss spoken. Right now I understand that they are planning to
get copies of my drawings. I also spoke with one of the contractors today and
I will be providing lettering files for the 1135. At least the lettering
style will be correct. Of course, the blue fades so fast it may be correct
by the spring! LOL

Thanks,

I’m surprised they didn’t take you up on the offer or replied that they
already have a set drawings. You are correct, all the paint manufacturer’s
(I recall DuPont?) information for each color of paint used was listed on
the drawings.

Ed,



I have offered a copy of the painting blueprints to the VMT if they need
them. This drawing does list the colors as well. I don't know if NS still
has that in their archives.



Thanks,

I have a copy of the N&W’s original 1776 blueprints (including a star
template) for painting it into the bicentennial scheme (somewhere between
Arkansas and Georgia). It included the specifics for the paints/colors used.
Would this information be of any value if I can find them?

So far just about everything they VMT has repainted has been the wrong
color

Instruction Car, 1135 and the 1776 if some one doesn't help them out .

Richard your down there see if you can steer them in the right direction.
This

stuff is not rocket science.

Maybe if it goes to Chattanooga the color will be correct...



The paint they have on the 1135 is nowhere near correct for N&W blue.



Thanks,

NW 1776 will be moving today from the Virginia Museum of Transportation to
Shaffers Crossing.

Following one or two days of attention to its trucks it will move to
Chattanooga for repainting.
