PRR GP9?

[JohnS]

Is there a proper GP9 for the Pennsylvania RR? Long hood forward with dynamic brake and the Antenna? The one modeled is also correct but facing the wrong way.

I think the horseshoe curve GP9 is the only one in PRR scheme unless there is a repaint in the library.

The Britkits payware GP9 pack includes a PRR antenna as a child object, and is labelled as such. A competent repainter could throw together a reasonably accurate representation of a PRR GP9. The Britkits GP9 xtra pack also includes a GP9B model. One could have a whole PRR fleet! All basic GP9 configurations come in Phase 1 (dual 36" fans) and Phase 3 (single 48" fans). The Britkits diesel line could use a sound update and maybe some physics tweaks but they are overall good models for the price. They are relatively easy to repaint and have more custom parts to swap than the RSC GP9. One downside is that they come in a fictional livery so the PRR paint has to come from yourself or another repainter.

Brunswick green can be hard to match, just on the green side of black.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the insight. Brunswick green I was told is one can of green to 5 cans of black or something like that.
