Re: (erielack) New EL and Erie prototypes!!!!
Ah, well. I guess having a DL&W unit is on par with having an
Erie unit. Although, if they are not going to do EL, then they shouldn't
do PC either...just stick with NYC and PRR.
Maybe in ten years time, when the units start looking a little shabby,
we can lobby NS to repaint BOTH the Erie and the Lackawanna units
to EL. First they can do patch jobs, or they can repaint the Erie one
into early EL, and the Lackawanna in to late EL.

My gripe is that THEY HAD ALREADY CHOSEN EL AND ERIE AS THEIR PAINT SCHEMES.
And then a group of DL&W fans apparently lobbied for them to change it - and
they did, to the detriment of the EL.
I also note that none of the well-known Erie fans on this list have offered
an opinion either - why should they? :)
Regardless, I have a feeling this EL vs. DL&W scheme issue is not settled
yet at NS. And I HAVE let them known my appreciation for doing this,
regardless of what their final decision is. But I'm sure going to provide
them some other details (from my point of view) why EL should be included. I
even spent a lot of my time PROVIDING ARTWORK AND DETAILS.
Maybe I'm a bit irked that all my work was usurped by a bunch of people who
didn't get what THEY wanted?
