You know, as big of an SP fan that I am, I've never been that keen on the Kodachrome paint scheme; just the very idea of seeing SP engines with warbonnet-derived styling is somewhat off-putting to me (and the Santa Fe is also one of my favorites). As an aside I never cared that much for SP's experimental "Popsicle" paint scheme used on their TE70-4S MK rebuilds either.

I also like SP's Daylight scheme very much.

But frankly, if given the choice between Kodachrome and a fictional "Daylight" scheme that Forrest above alluded to I'll take the Kodachrome any day of the week, simply because that's what was used in real life.
