    While scanning my negatives for use in the Archives I noticed something different about SD45 SLSF 943.

    Look at the handrails, they are painted orange. I guess if you have the Athearn ready to run (RTR) model of SD45 SLSF 943 no need to paint the handrails white.

    The photo of SD45 SLSF 943 that will be posted to the Frisco Archive is much better and more clear.

    I can see the rush by everyone now to change their SD45 locomotive number to SLSF 943. LOL!

    That little tidbit made my stomach less queasy after seeing all that green paint!

    By the way, nice collection of photographs

    Just that the name and color are off.

    Nice catch Roger.

    Started looking at other photographs to see if the fireman's side was also Mandarin orange.

    That would be really interesting to explain if it was not.

    Best Regards,
