Bus1883 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 This in my opinion this would be a good interior color for the 7000s if they change the interior colors soon. Similar to 5269 and up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to put (if) instead of (when). Honestly this will look decent on the 7000s if they change the color which they always do small changes to option orders.

As I noted before, it was only because the Chief Engineer didn't like "dusky." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to 5269 and up I wish they painted the blue ends gray like the rest of the fleet. They would look better gray or even black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the blue end capa. Blue is one of the colors in the cta livery. Part of the reason for the colored endcaps is to help differentiate the u000s from the restoration the fleet. Gray or steel cored endcals would not accomplish this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the blue end caps too I just wish they made them grey I just think they look better over the blue but it’s cool I like the 7000’s design overall cause to me they look like an updated version of the 2200 series and it’s so ironic they’re starting out on the Blue line 😎👍🏽.

It was about 90 WS, and 60 WNW, in proportion to the extensions opened in 1969-1970. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artthouwill Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Is it me or have deliveries slowed to a crawl? I haven't seen any newer 7000s in service. I would have thought CTA would have about 60 cars in its possession by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
