Not one to criticize something I saw often when I was a child (my dad worked for the L&N), I slightly remember the red in the logo is a little 'redder'. Other than that, the other colors look spot on.

Yep, I'd say that's spot on.

This bad boy is pretty dramatic. Going to be one of my favorites.

For anyone wanting to repaint a set of cars in the L&N scheme, I'll take some detailed pictures when I take the new reverser, independent, and brake handle to be installed on the L&N 796. Interestingly enough, she wasn't a L&N engine to start with

My bride who rarely comments on my obsession says she thinks this is even prettier than the Santa Fe paint.
I can't leave this for the VIA before I complete the L&N with the old classic blue paint.

It is certainly impressive. Reminds me of the SP black widow scheme.
