One of the members of the modular club here in So Cal is primarily a Santa Fe modeler, but he started doing some Penn Central because he wanted to make a model of a locomotive that the Santa Fe never had. The result is that he is doing as much Penn Central as he is Santa Fe. Anyway, at the meeting last night he had an F7 A&B set. It was originally in D&RGW orange & silver passenger scheme. He had left the paint, removed the D&RGW markings and installed the PC "mating worms" logo and new Penn Central numbers. I asked him about it and he said that the PC had bought the units second hand from the D&RGW and found the D&RGW units to be in better shape than the existing Penn Central units so they removed the DRGW markings and put PC markings on over the original D&RGW paint. I'd never heard of them, but it was an interesting model set. I'm sorry, I didn't have a camera with me.
