The railroad names and paint schemes applied to the Lionel O Scale Auto Racks on 89' flat cars have been painted in schemes from the 1990 to 2005 time period.
Which decade do you need produced next?
Would you need the 1970's era railroads and color schemes?
Examples:
Chicago & North Western's dark brown auto rack scheme.
NW Norfolk and Western black auto rack on Trailer Train flat car
SOUTHERN with the name spelled out on 3 screen sections in the center of the auto rack. The auto rack painted green or brown.
Santa Fe auto rack with a red background and white lettering
MILW The Milwaukee Road
FRISCO
Missouri Pacific/Mo-Pac
M-K-T in green on yellow and yellow on green
The Rock Rock Island blue scheme
SCL
L&N
SSW COTTON BELT
WP Western Pacific
CP Rail Multimark logo
Do you need the 1980's schemes?
Examples:
Seaboard System auto rack
Guilford Boston & Maine auto rack
NORFOLK AND WESTERN in narrow letters on a brown auto rack.
Denver & Rio Grande Western auto rack on TTGX Trailer Train flat car
The Soo Line Railroad auto rack on TTGX Trailer Train flat car
Grand Trunk Western all blue sides
Chicago & North Western in the "Safety Yellow"
the CSX TRANSPORTATION scheme
Do you need more 1990's schemes?
Examples:
Chicago & North Western in traditional yellow with the large CNW on the center panel on TTGX TTX flats.
Norfolk Southern all brown auto rack with white graphics.
CP Rail name only
Which way do you want the people at Lionel to go next?
From my perspective it would be best to go back to the 1970's and start with the earliest railroad scheme from the 1970's that matches their type of auto rack.
