That's a great livery.

I AGREE with the previous commenter, that's one REALLY SHARP paint scheme. Somewhere along the line, another owner must have added that high-mounted bell over the nose, as Pennsy did not normally equip any of its diesels with an end-of-hood bell.

I'm willing to bet most here are not aware that early on in the beginning of the A&B that the ownership actually painted one of their units in the "Lionel" Paint Scheme. It lasted a while until Lionel pointed out that they had not asked permission to use the scheme.

Great scheme. Great shot. Would be perfect if they had operable d/b.

As earlier said, great paint scheme, I had never heard of this Rail Road before. Thanks for posting the picture.

The ADBF was actually approached by Lionel to paint the loco for some anniversary. It did last a number of years but I helped repaint it (1752) 1751 and 1760. Many hours sanding on those girls.
