I thought it was Bill Wade, but wasn't sure. I managed to find one set of them not long after I came into S, but that is all I have been able to find. I would like at least another set or two.
The set I have was for the later, mint green scheme, not the Citrus scheme. The SAL units did pull passenger trains for most of their lives, but eventually ended up pulling freights. All but one of SAL's E-units (their only E-9, # 3060) were delivered in the "Citrus" scheme )also called the "First Passenger" scheme with the "Mint Green" (or "second Passenger") being the repaint scheme... the one that turned almost white. It is no surprise to me that the mint green scheme decals failed to sell so well as the Citrus scheme is, by far, the most attractive... whether in it's original, yellow roof version or the later, green roofed version. Being a SAL fan and modeler this may sound biased... but I assure you I'm being as objective as possible... I find the SAL's Citrus scheme to be one of the finest ever applied to a diesel.. Darn shame the Citrus scheme wasn't carrien back through the passenger cars as well. As for the mint green scheme... well... I wish it had never been created.

Bill Wade. It was a long time ago, at least as far back as the early 1990s. But maybe he still has some. I cannot remember whether it was the multi-colored citrus scheme or the later light green that turned to almost white. I think even Bill was surprised at the lack of sales. I do not think I have ever seen an SAL passenger train in S. - Earl Henry, Nashville In a message dated 2/4/2012 10:05:39 P.M.
