- Why paint
the PA in Nickel Plate colors?
Doyle says: "Because it's mine and I want
it that way."
To elaborate, having grown up in Conneaut, OH,
and having a father who worked for the Nickel
Plate, Doyle has a special fondness for the
road. Futhermore, NKP190 was the first locomotive
in which Doyle got to ride. And besides, it's
just a damn nice paint scheme—a statement
with which few could argue.
- Don't you think that Warbonnet/Daylight/(insert
favorite road name) would look better?
No. If that were the case, it wouldn't be NKP190,
it would be ATSF62.
- But the locomotive is originally
from the Santa Fe. Wouldn't that be more appropriate?
Yes, no—doesn't matter. See question
#1.
- I have some information/equipment/memorabilia
to contribute. How can I do it?
Please contact us through our contact
page.
- What is with all the bondo
references?
A perceptive man once noted that, given the
bare-bones condition of the PAs, any restoration
would consist entirely of Bondo body filler
and plywood. If you don't believe it, take a
look at the Brooklyn
Gallery.
