On the contrary, I like the yellow. T he color and the car, even without lettering, are the spitting image of a transfer car used in a local branch of Weyerhauser which I used to deliver products to on a daily basis. When I saw the BTS model, I thought I was looking at a mirror of that car. I have photos of that car if anyone would like copies of them.
And by the way... what is the car's underframe and other parts made of? I may want one.

Sorry, you do not like the yellow. I had planned to paint it boxcar red per the SRR prototype, but decided the brighter color would show off the details better. So I chose the UP yellow for my car since I had seen an HO version in UP color that looked nice. Not being able to prove that the UP had that car and not finding any prototype photo referenced, I decided to put the car photos up before lettering it UP. I have had several folks tell me they did not like the colors I choose for various other models, but never had one not buy the unpainted kit because of my personal color choice.
