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

The 1943 was not on display, only the 9026.  Both Lionel's 1943 and METCA's 9026 will have the same body color.  The only difference will be the road number.  See photo below.  The cab is definitely silver and the center section is definitely gray.

Stu,

Thanks for taking time to respond and provide the photo and information to my question.   From this angle/lighting,  I can see the separate silver and gray body sections.   I feel better after seeing this photo.   Thanks again
