(...) Dear Anthony, I never had the intention to be in any way "harsh" to you. If you felt like that I have to apologize. I just feel still bad with the "new" MEGA-Blok like colors.

(...) Not sure why Ben was so overly harsh on you there Sava, but any replacement wheels are bound to be new gray (which thankfully isn't as bad as the shift between the dk gray), since they're made for the BNSF Loco in that color.

It's no problem, although unless your color correction is badly out of whack on your scanner, that color isn't actually grey, it's tan? Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde "Ken Koleda" <kkoleda@gmspamfreeail.com> wrote in message news:IuM117.6F2@lugnet.com... (...) (19 years ago, 13-Feb-06, to lugnet.color)
