Now most of these I really like. Not just because they are clean, or fallen flags, but because they are inspiring and look like actual design rather than a paint job with whatever was cheapest or handy. 

My fav.s seem to have one thing in common and I'm not sure why yet, but I'm really attracted to the areas of battleship grey up high, more than the vibrant colors. Maybe it's the contrasting shadows shows the detail better...?  For now, I just want enjoy looking at some modern diesels and not thinking "yuk".

Careful, or you'll have folks of all sorts loving trains again

Well, all I'll say is that a brand-new locomotive is a magnificent thing to experience.  The outside smells like fresh paint and often has a flawless, shining, finish.  There's no dirt underneath.  The wheels are perfect.  Everything is tight.  The interior smells of new paint and new upholstery.  Nothing rattles.  Everything works exactly right, and the engine is so quiet when coasting.

It is really a fine experience.

Sounds similar to something else new with wheels  

....and (hopefully) the feelings operating them give the same kinda pride; a nice bonus!

I thought the fish oil was safer, cheaper, liberally applied rust prevention. Never thought of it as a "finish wax" too.
