 schemes on models in the early PC years?   Tyco wins the prize with bright
 green locos with white and red lettering, passenger cars with bright green
 window panels and red lettering/logos.   Con-cor passenger cars had a
 bright green letter board as I remember.  Where did these schemes come
 from?   Only Bachmann was close to accurate with a black GP-40 and "F-9"(
 F-7).   Were there any other  mfrs. of PC models?   >>
 
In N scale, anyway, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, there were lots of Penn
Central items available.  The greatest number were by Atlas, I guess, and were
generally pretty well done.  Other N scale producers of PC items included
Aurora/MiniTrix, Arnold-Rapido, Bachmann, and I believe there was something
offered by AHM too.  Too bad so many of them could never come close to the
correct green, even when PC was alive & "well."
