Yes, the Lehigh Valley 112 has been painted over... https://www.facebook.com/pages/LV-112-PRR-9206/110178065671517 I know that this will upset some folks, but those of us who understand what it takes to maintain this type of equipment will know what I am talking about. 112's paint and body work has been deteriorating rapidly. At what point is the paint original or fixed up? So a decision was made last year after 112's 75th annervasary to repaint her in Black River & Westerns SW1 400. The 400 had the same hood / window configuration as the 112 and this year BR&W is celebrating its 50th season, so the timing is right. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Black-River-Railroad-Historical-Trust/92508157822 After PRR 9206 gets painted and blue carded, we'll get a proper paint job on the 112 that she deserves. Please!, lets not get into a discussion about you should have done this or that, just come track side and enjoy, ride the train and have a good time. Spend some money in the gift shop on some great BRW 50th anniversary stuff. Scott Kwiatkowski |

Scott, the 112 looks great, and highly appropriate for the BR&W's anniversary this year! And what's not to like about fresh paint on a running SW1??? BTW, that CNJ coach really came out good too! You guys have a lot to be proud of! AT Kromer RMNE |
