Good Evening Everyone,

Did anyone who attended this York(Oct 2018) notice if Lionel had the UP 1943 Spirit of the Union Pacific on display.   If so,  was the main body color all silver or was the center of the body where the American Flag is located painted in battleship gray?   I'm asking because I saw a photo of the METCA special run UP 9026 Spirit of the Union Pacific that was on display and the main body color looked all silver.   I'm hoping it was because this was a special run for them.   The real UP 1943  is painted battleship gray in the center body section where the American Flag is located.   I have the 1943 on order and I hope the paint is correct.   Thanks for any help

Didn't notice if the 1943 was on display at the Lionel booth, did get a photo of the METCA version.

Ed,

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question.   In your photo,  the angle/lighting makes it look like the main body is nearly all silver or silver/light gray at best,  which is similar to another photo that I saw.   Stu from METCA also provided a photo(see above post).   Again,  thanks for your help.
