    Too bad 72 doesn’t look like that nowadays!

    I always found those blue coaches with black tops interesting. Back in 1994 they were slightly out of place when the F40PHs came on line (from videos I have); here they match nicely :)

    Nice, Arnold. I really miss those bright yellow noses, not seen in today’s VIA schemes.
