A project I have been working on lately...but can't decide the paint scheme...Santa Fe as delievered "Pinstripe" or the later blue/yellow "War Bonnet". And yes, when it's completed, will be put up for sale. Thanks for your input!

| Looks great so far! I personally prefer the "warbonnet" scheme, as it really screams "Santa Fe", but also has a nice modern look to it.

Hi SD9_Cadillac,
Great work. I think the pinstripes would be great.
Keep us posted on your progress.

I liked your "SD9_Cadillac" name, so I thought I'd send you a pic of some Santa Fe SD-9s I did about a year ago done in the pre-1972 stripe scheme. These look so cool lashed up together pulling a humongous train! They're Athearn blue box w/Tyco GP-20 noses. A few "Santa Fe-ish" details were added making them look like Santa Fe would have dressed 'em up had they had SD-9s!

Going to have to look into these SD9 locos  I like the look. The blue/yellow paint scheme is a good one but I have to admit I am partial to the red/yellow warbonnet scheme.
I'm still simmering the idea in the back of my head to do a SF fantasy loco with the trailer logo scheme Microben, waiting to source a set of decals that aren't printed on gold sheets

How about LAJ?. It's still atsf but looks more unique.
If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right.

Hey Jerry, I just read this thread. What decals are you thinking you need? I have ATSF that I know I will never use.
