Super 7,
Thank you for posting the O&W paint colors. It is not just the paint that is the issue. It is also the fact that the Diaphragms are Grey???? and that they put an A in the number boards. That is incorrect also, even thought a lot of people had pointed this out to Lionel it was wrong before they announced they were going to run new shells.
The new shells have a very East egg look to them. They would be right at home sitting in a basket with some Cadbury chocolate eggs next to them.
My hope is that some day I will be able to find a used set of MTH O&W F3. They are not perfect, be I feel I would be happier with them.
