Not too long after they were renumbered 710-713. They were painted black with numbers and letters in the same color and font style as N&W steam power. The first GP-9’s were phase 2 style carbodies with dynamic brakes. The radiator fans were four 36 inch cap tops. The air horn was mounted at the mid point of the cab on the centerline of the locomotive. Years ago, Life Like offered Proto 2000 Models in HO scale of 710 and 713. I hope this answers your question.</div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Chris Dalton </div><div>Bluefield, WV</div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jan 9, 2025, at 8:07 PM, NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<p>Does someone know when the first GP-9 diesels were acquired by
the N&W and what paint scheme they wore on arrival? Thanks
