Trains getting uglier? For a LONG time they have. Think of the GG1 with its golden stripes and curvey sholders and hips, the SP GS-4 in Daylight colors, the Norfolk and Western J series streamliner steam, the Pioneer Zepher in all its polished stainless glory, the B&O heavy Pacifics in green and gold pulling a royal blue pullman consist., an A-B-B-A E3 slant nose in Santa Fe Warbonnet Livery, a brace of Alco PA s..also in Warbonnet, and a UP FEF 4-8-4 with its masculine smoke lifters streaming along with the golden yellow and grey luxury passenger cars, ..... You bet! Trains have been getting uglier. for the last 5 decades! .......but I like plenty of them,ugly or not... especailly rinkity-dink narrow gauge teakettles. and even some of those boxy 2nd generation diesels.... I just bought a GP-35 in Nickel Plate Road, black with yellow lettering.and recenthy a late 1800s 2-6-0 Cooke Mogul narrow gauge. <br /> <br />Cheers <br />Jennifer
