And why not? The thin got wrecked, bu I once had a switch engine, steam 0-6-0, with oversized engineer wearing a U S Cavelry uniform being chased by an ATSF Warbonnet complete with feather sticking out of the exhaust and arrow out of the Firemans windshield. Native American friend of mine thought that was absolutely the funniest thing.

LRC commuter coaches are in the paint shop. I don't know how many at once. But I'd say about ten maximum for the passenger trains, & maybe up to 100 freights on average.

The main page doesn't come up for me, but the locos page does.

So if we want to submit a paint scheme we have to change the logos to LOL???
