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.
