Tks Randy for a source of that 1969 green paint.  Quite a story; I'd think 
though as formulated for "full scale" locos, it was a bit thick 
for H.O. shells!

Which puts me in mind of a tie between the Burlington & John Deere (would be 
great to see if anyone has a slide of one of the new 
U-Boats in "69 with a flat car of Deere equipment behind!).  In 1966, Deere 
released an album to ag dealers called "Songs with a RR 
Ring" (Columbia Special Products [Div. of Columbia Records] #CSP 251).  The 
cover features Q #307 in Chinese Red pulling a Q flat 
followed by 2 OTTX flats, all loaded with new Deere combines & tractors.  Deere 
was promoting "Power Train '66" (on a placard on 
front of loco).  This is undoubtedly the highest priced record with a Q 
connection on the used market.  You have generic collectors of 
odd L.P.'s, Deere Collectors (as fanactical or more so than RR collectors) and 
of course Q fans all pursuing a record sold out in the 
country; i.e. not to many copies in N.Y.C. or L.A.!  I'll bring a copy to 
Oregon in April for our spring BRHS meet.   Gerald

*color photo on cover is NOT credited but I assume taken around Quad Cities by 
Deere photog.  BAck cover has small b/w pic of 
kerosene hand lantern being held on end of loco with "Power Train '66" on 
globe.  Songs, all RR classics, include artists like Johnny 
Cash, Flatt & SCruggs, Nre Christy Minstrels, Bob Dylan(!), Johnny Horton, etc 
- 12 in all.
