If it were me, I'd do one in blue, because I like early Conrail. I'd want to be reminded that yes, there were a significant number of electrics in blue, just not GG-1s. That's part of why, if I were modelling early Conrail, I wouldn't do it before '78. There weren't enough blue units early on for Conrail to look interesting; solid ex-PC consists were the norm.
Fan of late and early Conrail... also 40s-50s PRR, 70s ATSF, BN and SP, 70s-80s eastern CN, pre-merger-era UP, heavy electric operations in general, dieselized narrow gauge, era 3/4 DB and DR, EFVM and Brazilian railroads in general... too many to list!
