Overmod

Braniff did it better. Nonsensical cheapness.

 

But when they did it right, it was hard to fault them.

 

 

Not being critical of Braniff. A couple of their planes were "art". 
Just think Amtrak's is very poorly done.

This is a Calder clown suit, courtesy Braniff   or this fine classic?

on those amtrak engines (beginning of the thread):

 

I'd like to see the red drop down over the whole nose.  I've seen the phase one P42 (156) with a red nose and it looks pretty good.  Make the whole front end red and black.  Like, well, the P42 #156.

The phase 3-wrapped sprinter is pretty sharp, too.  Honestly, can we just use that? 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now. 


  

The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any

I prefer the classic!

Damn it, airplanes should look like airplanes, not crazy quilts.

The Calder is art - art in motion.  The traditional is as exciting as corporate letterhead stationary.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Just be glad they didn't make it look like Brightline.

Still in training.
