Cotton Belt
Road Number SLSW 923 & 913 MSRP $205.50 OUR PRICE
$154.13
Adorned in the classic “Black Widow” scheme
made famous by its parent company, Southern Pacific, the Cotton
Belt was the Eastern extension of the West Coast road. The
Black Widow scheme consisted of a black body with silver,
orange and red nose. A red stripe wrapped around the bottom
of the nose and ran the length of the engine. Cotton Belt
logos and side lettering were retained in lieu of SP markings.
This scheme evolved, as did the physical appearance of the
FT. Later in their careers they took on F style side grills
and large number boards and had their lighted side number
boards plated over.

Reading
Road Number RDG 250 & 253 MSRP 206.25 OUR PRICE $154.69
Hauling loads of anthracite coal from mine operations deep
in Pennsylvania as well as long strings of freight, the green
and gold striped midnight black FT’s helped Reading
handle the increased load of Wartime traffic. Lashed in A-B-B-A
units, the FT plied the rails in places like the Catawissa
Branch eliminating much of the costly helper service that
was cutting into the company’s bottom line. Reading
bought 20 units that served the line until they were fazed
out of service for GP-30’s by 1964.
