JB  Date: 06/30/04 20:45 Re: speaking of Frisco Orange F's Author: RobJ Thanks for those. But maybe red and white might be a better description. Didn't see the f's but recollection of later units was red.

"Mandarin Orange" and white, based on the paint scheme applied by EMD to its GP35/DD35 demonstrator sets. The orange often tended to fade darker over time, on units that had been repainted from black and yellow. |
