Ford Canada Factory....

[Alex van de Wetering]

Hi Guys,

I just stumbled upon this older message. Some of you may know that I am building a scale model of the Ford F60H wrecker. (I posted a picture on the forum some time ago) Allthough I haven't had much time lately to continue the model, my search for info continues. That's why I was happy to see a new picture (for me) of the F60H wrecker. But I am a little disappointed by the message that David posted saying that Canada never purchased the Ford F60 H cab 13 wrecker, because I wanted to build the model in a canadian registration for North-West Europe. So a little disappointing!!! I still don't know what I am going to do right now.......an Indian registration on my model??????

But so much for the emotions. Couldn't it be that the paint-scheme above is just for the black and white factory-picture??? Just a thought.....
I know some dutch locomotive factories used this technique. When a new locomotive model was introduced they used to paint it in grey and black, instead of the normal dark green and black which was normal when the locomotives were delivered to the client. That way the contrast on the picture was better, which resulted in more orders (?)
