Re: Sumpter Valley GE 50 ton No. 720 update

The orange color is similar to the "Tangelo" on the Wikepedia chart, and the paint is already partly applied. The exact scheme is still under discussion, but will be similar to the one pictured. The exact lettering is also under discussion.

Incidently, the 720 pulled its first revenue train last thursday. We had a small charter, 15 people, with only 3 crew to run it and the 19 out of service for a boiler wash. It performed well even though it still needs some fine tuning, and the paint and glass are not complete. To run the 19 for that small of a group we would have had to charge an excessive amount or lost money.
