I’ve built one C&O BL2 and am most of the way through the second (still
waiting on parts). After running it at the show I have a few minor tweaks to
do and a few minor parts to swap out (did you spot the gray mixed in with the
blay). I’ve modeled the original paint scheme as delivered by EMD, as shown
in the b/w reference photo below. The HO model attempts to also capture this
scheme, though it the fuel tank should have been gray. I’ve also included a
link to a color photo of a subsequent simplified paint scheme that was used.

Speaking of BL2s I stumbled across this
Walk through of Bangor & Aroostook
BL2 #557 while surfing one of my favorite
Rail sites today. They were
certainly odd ducks.

I’ve also built a C&O caboose to match.
This model is in the later yellow scheme, and I’m halfway through building a second one (waiting for
parts) in the older
red scheme.

Sweet caboose too.
