For IMMEDIATE release...

After a ton of name calling that would make Don Imus sound like a preacher, The CEO of Madison Central of Wisconsin has announced plans to start repainting some of it's fleet. For years the railroad nicknamed the 'MadCoW', has been operating with engines purchased from the Chicago and Northwestern Ry. and they say it's time for a change.

The new scheme has yet to be unveiled, but we are told the new look will rival that of basket full of easter eggs. That said, we spoke with the CEO Harold B. Hind, and were told, "We can't stand operating in the shadow of the CNW, and it's time we came out of the closet." Hind went on to say, " Think of it as Clark Kent exiting a phonebooth as Spiderman, or watching Superman flying out of the 'batcave'." It was quite apparent that Harry had a liquid lunch before the interview.

None the less, the new paint has started. And the first to wear it will be..

The M.C.o.W. 80A and 80B. A pair of E-8's that will handle the business train and work freight service as needed...

Shown here after a fight broke out over color...

Wow Johnny, can't wait to see the new colors - don't keep us in suspense! (or do you need to wait for the 'Hind man to sober up before he decides?):p
 
Engineerbill, What did you use to strip the original paint? The geep looks like a proto, I've ruined Kato shells and a BLI shell in alcohol as well as brake fluid....
