[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by donclark I also liked the Katy/FriscoTexas Special......One classy train...... My favorite steam railroad to model is the Katy (MKT). One of the reasons is that the Katy never bought anything larger than a Mikdado and Pacific.... The black locomotives with white wheels pulling yellow freight cars and the red cabooses.....what a sight..... Why Katy went green with yellow lettering in the diesel freight era is beyond me..... [/quote] The Sloan-era cabeese were also yellow (if they got painted), but some stayed boxcar red. Reg Whitman once told me they went green for a couple of reasons: 1. Different image. 2. Didn't fade to pink like the red ones always did. By the way the green is "John Deere Green" only in mythology. It is actually Katy green, which was a separate color chip.
