Scot,
Now that he's riving a big rig all over the country, my friend Russ Swinnerton probably won't see this and reply. However, he is a big Conrail guy. He has modified a stock E8 to resemble a Conrail OCS E8, not sure exactly which road#, but might have been 4020. Anyway, I think he posted pictures last summer of his efforts. I did see his GP-30 and GP-38, and the two blues are not the same. The GP-30 paint looks a lot better to me. Never really was much of a Conrail fan, but growing up along a commuter branch line, there wasn't much freight anyway. Mostly FL9s in CDOT and a revised McGinnis (New Haven) scheme..
