I don't have any of my C&O/B&O books at work, but I can at least add that those schemes are obviously pre-Chessie System, which came along around 1973.  To answer your question, I'd say those C&O/B&O schemes are late 1960s or very, very early 1970s.

This hardly pushes back the date but here is one in 1974 (in Tehachapi!)

I will be ordering that scheme.

Hmmm, google found this.  Says 1960s.  Vague, but earlier.

Cool stuff! :D



I'm still wondering what is holding up the brown Trailer Train 85 footers ...  :facepalm:

Now, about the Trainworx trailers listed in the 1st post above:

B&O 1964:
http://www.cohs.org/repository/Archives/cspr/web/cspr-920.01x.jpg

That scheme is the B&O version of the 1st Trainworx C&O scheme above (and also the last B&O scheme in the Trainworx listing above), so its pretty safe to say that both date to 1964.
