[PRCo] Re: "Yellow cars"

[Jim Holland]

When 3756 was painted a number of years ago, people Here On This List 
speculated that PTM mistakenly used  *M*aintenance Orange instead of 
Passenger Orange which is Much More Subtle  --  mebbe the same thing was 
done on 4398.       It is also photographed Inside which can alter the 
color outcome.
.
Regardless of the soot in the air the color will still Fade in the 
normal fashion  --  Cars Were Washed regularly then.       The acid in 
the air may have helped to promote the fade, also mentioned here on this 
list before.
