Nostalgia & History > Smokin' Utah Alcos ... kept you coming backDate: 12/01/19 06:00 Smokin' Utah Alcos ... kept you coming back Author: valmont Utah RSD4's # 304 & 305 in the yard @ Martin, UT on June 12, 1975. Visits there always produced good results, but didn't get back there very much after these units were gone.

Marvelous looking and sounding machines. Thanks for the reminder.

Probably same color, just faded by the high altitude sun. Arved Grass Fleming Island, FL Date: 12/02/19 08:27 Re: Smokin' Utah Alcos ... kept you coming back Author: SPDRGWfan Arved Wrote:

The ratty unit numbers do like like a very faded yellow at closer inspection; quite the contrast to the fresh paint.

304 is probably still wearing it's factory paint job. |
