What I remember from that era is that CNW bought the demonstrator set which all dark green except for a narrow yellow stripe and simply relettered them. DJE

The C&NW had a four unit set of FA-2 units, and I recall that S-Helper which literally "helped" AM get its ALCO FA-2 models into the market place, offered a set of C&NW units correctly painted. The C&NW also fielded one DL-109. In my teenage naivete I painted my AF PA with C&NW colors, not knowing I should test for crazing. And, sure enough, my AF PA looked horrible. I had 0-gauge decals to reletter the unit. An awful experiment! Tom
