BORN on : "Railfans". As this thread is now a bit long in the tooth.. I sure wish my career could have been in the committee that selects paint schemes for the BIG guys. I have noticed all of you are great fans of color and lots of it. What attracts potential buyers into the new automobile showroom? A beautiful paint job and the smell of new. History books have stories of the pride the RR-men had in their rail equipment .. locomotives used to go through wash racks and then were coated with (fish) oil to appear shiny new. When I see a terrific paint job, I am FORCED to stop and look. I was a born .. dreamer. Photo is a ice cream truck bus that would look fine as 1/50 scale. Yep, I remember. Thank you.
