LOL you are a sitting duck with that comment my friend. I am sooooo tempted to
comment about that _______ brown color PRR used. However,
I will restrain myself.
I will comment that you left out the Western & Northern railroads on your list.
In fact, just about every RR had colorful schemes on their first generation
diesel road power EXCEPT PRR (not sure if lightening strips counts).
I will admit it is a PIA to paint the compund curves on the hoods of SP Black
Widow units but in the end it is worth it.
Puttin' on the flame suit.
