Show me something the rhymes with Orange

Actually, changes in rhyming technology and equal employment gender affirmative action have made that rhyme possible, with a railroad theme even---

Alan,
First;   Thank You for the excellent compliment!!
Second:    I have seen others in other paint colors, that I could not resist, so I have a few in reserve -myself.
They are little gems, I really dig those!
Thanks!!!!

Here's one for you Karl: An ex-C&O geep with only the B&O letters and numbers applied, still in its original solid blue livery (i.e. no sill stripe)

Let;s see another patched loco or car...
