I like how your logo is a take off on Southern Railway's logo... That makes 3 now by my count... GMLTC is a take off on Milw and I think PNLTC's new logo is a take off on SP&S but I'm not sure.

Yes, yellow is extremely rare today. Luckily, The Construction Site has (had?) a Dacta set that has EIGHT of them in it, so I finally have some.
