Sorry to contradict my fellow forum-goers, but there were some bad paint schemes. But where to start....Well, I like the good old Soutern Pacific, and they had the best paint scheme of all time: the Daylight (I'm going to get flack from someone for that)!!! Their Black Widow scheme was very nice as well, but the good old Espee had some doozies too. I certainly can't rave about the SP Lark scheme, and the Golden State Limited (the Chicago-Los Angeles streamliner which was a joint operation of SP and Rock Island) had a paint scheme that I definitely would not enter into a beauty contest (I am, of course, not refering to the Daylight diesels which could be found pulling it, but the red and white scheme). Being an UP fan, I consider the UP's Armour Yellow scheme to be one of the best ever. However, the scheme that Uncle Pete applied to their bath tub-shroud streamlined mountains left much to be desired. And then came Burlington Route. Don't get me wrong-the CB&Q did a lot of good things, like the fiirst dome car. But their paint scheme on their streamliners was a lot like my silverware: they're both solid stainless steel. The Q didn't put any paint onto their streamlined cars, like many other railroads who also left their streamliner cars unpainted. But the CB&Q hardly even painted their locomotives! Oh well...I have just upset Burlington Route fans, SP fans, and my fellow UP fans in this posting. -Daniel
