A couple months ago I proposed the "what-if" idea of Erie Lackawanna and Missouri Pacific in an end to end merger scenario. Over the next few months I will be posting photos of the evolving railroad.
In these shots taken near Centennial Yard in Ft. Worth, TX during spring of 1977,  Erie Lackawanna motive power is beginning to show up on the western end of the new Class 1.
Notice the El unit is still in pre-merger scheme, it will be several years until a more standard scheme is created. L&N power is not so lucky however and markings are already being phased out in favor of what will become interim markings leading to total repaints in the next few years. 
 
Here are the first couple shots of an Erie Lack/MoPac lash-up.
 
EL SD45 2416 is a Bachmann Spectrum weathered to match photos of the prototype.
 
MP GP38-2 2164 is a Proto 2000 weathered to recreate the ones I saw running on old T&P main in Aledo, TX during the 70's.
 
Former L&N U30B 2507 is a Proto 2000 weathered to match proto photos.
(L&N marking have been patched over and engine is ready to go to paint for a wash and new scheme.
