(erielack) Erie FA's in early EL freight paint

["Phoebe Westbound" <"mmjenks_@_mkl.com">]

Hello group,
I am looking for some painting assistance with a brace of Alco FA/FB-1's. I
want to paint the models in the early EL freight scheme of black and yellow
and I have a few questions. In the majority of published photos I've seen
the units are not lettered, but they sport the EL diamond in yellow on the
sides and in black on the nose. Were these units, when originally painted,
given the yellow railroad roman ERIE LACKAWANNA on the sides, same as can
be seen on the EMD F's or the RS's for that matter, or were they given only
the diamond ? Any assistance that you fellows could provide along with
additional information would be most appreciated. Thanks. 
Matt Forsyth
