Albany & Northern #9
Thomas Lawson asked me a very intriguing question yesterday:
"Why the Pidcock’s bought the Brooks-Scanlon #9 for the Albany & Northern Ry. in 1952?
This deal makes absolutely no sense to me and I

Hi Thomas,
Thank you very much: they are incredibly useful, and have filled in some gaps in my knowledge which would have otherwise led to an error in some details.

Re: [GaRRHistory] Central of Georgia Railway Standard stations
I would suggest the Central of Georgia Historical Society.
Southern Railway Historical Society may have something too.
All I have are signal plans.

Central of Georgia Railway Standard stations
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know of any available plans for CG standard stations? I note that there was a kit available in both N and H0 scales for the C sized stations, so I presume some information

Sorry, wasn't clear, but following on from the earlier messages in the thread, was talking about the Central.

Re: [GaRRHistory] Early diesel switcher paint schemes
You're right, Frank - The Georgia Railroad owned neither model, but the Central did.
I didn't pick up on that.
You're absolutely correct.

Re: [GaRRHistory] Early diesel switcher paint schemes
I'm curious, Simon, since you're asking about SW1 #2 and a S-2, are you looking for Georgia RR schemes? I ask because, I don't think the GA had either. The Central of GA had both,

Re: [GaRRHistory] Early diesel switcher paint schemes
You would be interested, I suppose, in the as-delivered scheme.
What you really need is a paint diagram. This would show exactly the specifications of the stripes and their placement.

Hi Robert,
You are correct: I am in the UK. This makes you both close (figuratively) and far (physically)!
I have an SW1, which is intended to be number 2, and also an S2: number yet to be decided. My

Re: [GaRRHistory] Early diesel switcher paint schemes
How early, Simon?
There were four switcher schemes - a very early scheme of black (or blue) with stripes, a slightly later one of blue with a silver band, a solid blue scheme with silver lettering,

Does anyone have any measurements of the early switcher livery, i.e. width of the white stripes, and location up from the deck, and size and location of the logo and the number and

Re: [GaRRHistory] Early diesel switcher paint schemes
Thanks, Robert.
That actually makes me very happy, as painting will be simpler!
I have some spare heralds, or at least, I can spare a couple for this purpose.

Re: [GaRRHistory] Early diesel switcher paint schemes
Simon -
The Central's switchers were, indeed, black with white trim and lettering. The herald was, at one time, available in a decal set but I suspect that this is no longer true. Maybe someone more
