In 1949 the Milwaukee Road tested a GE electric locomotive for three months on their Coast and Rocky Mountain divisions. This demonstrator was numbered GE750 and was painted olive green with a white stripe. I have several photos of this locomotive but they are in black and white. The Milwaukee Road purchased 12 of these electrics the following year and nicknamed them Little Joes.
I have an HO brass model of GE750 and want to paint it in the GE demostrator colors. Has anyone ever seen a color photo of this or any other locomotive in GE's "olive green" paint, and does anyone know an existing paint that duplicates or approximates this color?
