Re: [CBQ] Waycar colors

["Charlie Vlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

I agree with Dave's statement.  Also heard that upon viewing new NE12s in this 
scheme,
officials ordered a new scheme be developed which resulted in the Silver F 
Unit-inspired scheme.
Somehow the NE10s looked okay in the Orange scheme and, while some of them got 
the 
all-silver paint, none of them received the full treatment that the NE12 and 
NE13 cars wore until
some of the graphics were dropped in cost cutting simplification of the late 
60s/early 70s.  The
smooth surfaces of the NE12 just didn't lend itself to Orange paint and the 
cars that lost their
graphics somehow still didn't look good iin plain Silver.

  From what I understand, the waycars were originally painted orange to
  indicate they were radio equipped. I've only seen photos of NE10 and NE12
  waycars in this scheme.
