We get the Grienstien(sp?) green n' cream paint here every once in a blue moon, they show up on coal trains.

 

 

 

Always thought that was a pretty nifty paint scheme, myself. 

 

The one newer one I saw, yes.  The few, older, faded out ones I've seen?  Not so much.  A faded Greinstein looks much better than a pink-ish, faded warbonnet.

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.

Like an ugly dog/cat - you love the Warbonnet because of how it looked as a puppy/kitten, not how it has been neglected.  

Actually, I think the greenies look better even a little faded than any of the ugh orange ones when they are just dirty.  They fade and look like an orange in a bowl starting to go bad.  Dead
