Go to Lionel's website and write them. I wrote them earlier this morning telling them that the U36C never wore the red/silver paint scheme. Only the solid blue with yellow ends and then later the yellow/blue warbonnet. Even received a response back:
From: [email protected] Jeffery, Thank you for this information we will forward this on to the appropriate authorities. Thank You, Lionel -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 02, 2012 1:32 PM To: Talk To US Subject: Other Question From: Jeffery Smith 9815 Walnut St #106 Bellflower CA 90706 [email protected] To Lionel, In your latest S-Gauge catalog, you show a picture of a Santa Fe U33C in passenger red/silver warbonnet paint scheme. Are you aware that the Santa Fe U33C's never wore that paint scheme. The U33Cs were delivered in the solid blue with yellow ends and later repainted in blue/yellow warbonnet.

Sante Fe did have 25 U33Cs and 100 U36Cs, presumably all in blue warbonnet. There is an entry for the U28CG including a photo in the silver warbonnet. I suggest those in the know and interested write to Lionel about the paint scheme and see what can be done. I am not aware that any Lionel staff are members of this group. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_U36C Pieter E.
