I am going to start building a locomotive shortly. I want to do it up in this paint scheme.

I have an IHC Pacific that has that paint scheme on it only the top of the loco is blue. I can't seem to find a picture at the moment. I am just curious why this engine has the paint scheme it does. I always thought it was prototypic, but I looked into it and learned the Chessie system was not formed until the steam was gone. I know the engine is mean to be Chessie and not just C&O because the tender has Chessie System with the Kitty logo on it.
