[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bill mathewson There really hasn't ever been a bad F paint scheme, but the Lehigh and New England, Reading , Lehigh, (cornell red and black), Boston & Maine, PRR (both tuscan and brunswick w/ 5 dulux stripes), NYC 'Lightning Stripes, and the B&O early blue& gray stand out as consevative Eastern motive power. Out west, the early WP scheme, the ATSF 'warbonnet' and SP's Black Widows are exciting. Northern Pacific and Great Northern shemes were very good, as were early Rock Island F units. ACL and Central of Georgia stand out down south. Did the Seaboard ever do Fs in their citrus color scheme (orange, lemon & lime) or just their E units? All time best ever- the ATSF 'warbonnets' [/quote]Sorry to disagree, but KCS F units in the white "ghost" scheme are just plain ugly--it certainly did not do justice to an F unit. The E's were even uglier. The ATSF warbonnet was the best. Don't know about SAL F's.
