In Brewster in the late 1960's to the early 1970's, it was possible to find ex-Wabash F-units painted N&W. Here, three sun themselves outside the N&W (now W&LE) diesel shop.
Here's a good effort to acheive some recognition on a budget. This ex-SOU unit doesn't look bad with the enhancements. Taken with permission, back in the good old days.
