A few years ago, Lionel offered an uncatalogued blue & yellow Merchandiser paint scheme F-3. It was not a good seller.
The original Merchandiser paint scheme had red accent stripes and was vary hansom.
I also believe that was what is referred to as the cat-whisker scheme
It was later simplified by removing the red stripes and later by changing the nose herold to the same as the War-Bonnets
