My experience as a farmer, is you want the brand with the closest and best dealer. By best, I mean parts availability. For me, on the North Fork branch of the D&RGW in 1971, that meant green. I can still get parts from stock, not ordered, for my 1953 "B", and the baler it pulls. I have some other colors of equipment, most of it good, but getting parts is a hassle. S-scale content, I have both red & green flat-car loads. Wouldn't mind finding an orange Allis-Chalmers load. Steve Wolcott
