watching a pair. Unique McGuinnes look I cannot determine if this is a "fantasy paint scheme, or does it have prototype? Anyone have a clue what I am speaking of?

Ah hah! Not totally a fantasy paint scheme. Never heard of the Daniel Webster before now. Just put in your order for one of those 3D copies. Those trucks: were they set up for third rail??

The Snow Bird paint scheme was only used in the first year of production back in the 60's some time. After that, they were always black red & white.

Little known video- they had their third rail trucks swapped out
and were put into freight use!
