Notes:

The GN paint scheme of this locomotive was never officially announced, but it did appear on a sell sheet. Very few were probably made due to the complex paint scheme.

Terry O'Kelly received permission to use the Trainz.com photo of this engine, and he made some image-editing changes to it. This is of the "kit" version of the engine, so no handrails have been applied.
