What I wanted was a picture of the UPS Z-train testing behind Genesis locomotives, but I couldn't find one posted.  So can someone show me one?

I can only get the UPS and GE part.

Pennsy’s “Big Engine” in the snow

I would suggest that such a request will go unfulfilled unless you're willing to accept paintings or hand-tinted photographs.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Show me a train in pink.

Is this pink enough for you?

If not, SagaRail has one that is...

and there is always the 'save the ta-tas' GE effort... I'm posting the link as certain Kalmbach persons may be snippy about hotlinking Newswire content to the company's own forums:

Keeping the spirit going -- show me a train in chartreuse.

I know you have a very high standard for many things, Overmod. Wink

 

It looks chartreuse under bright sunlight. is it close enough?

If the answer is positive, please show me a train in Aquamarine.

Good eye for color!  (Even though the colorimeter in the Mac claims it's very different!)  Suits me.  Will this do?

What's next ... show me something in fuchsia?  New Zealanders could give us something in gamboge...

Ok, not from New Zealand, but the color match, and the story behind is meaningful:
