We've received many nice comments on our newly acquired Atlas GM&O F units pictured below. These strike me as one of the prettiest schemes ever - right up there with the similar Daylight and other beauties like the Warbonnets, the L&N, and the like.

Didn't we all just do this a week or so ago, and the steam powered Southern Pacific Daylight won????
Since I prefer steam, I had to turn to the sexy centerfold (of early 2000HP E models
in the GM ad) of the 1941 Locomotive Cyclopedia. For striking colors, my vote has to
go to the Kansas City Southern in its bright yellow nose, red roof, and black trim, with the silver and blue Mopac, and two shades of red plus silver Rock Islands right behind.
My vote...
To get the full impact, you have to match it with the passenger cars, but it is spectacular by itself.

I second that one! One of the all time greats!
Not much passenger service on my layout - but the little two-car local sure is pretty:
Loco is a modified and detailed MTH D16; open-platform, truss rod cars are from Labelle kits. Now about the scenery...
Here's the prettiest one I have. Still looking for appropriate passenger cars (not the blue ones).
i dont own one but the SP daylight stands.

These would be appropriate. (Minus the dome)
