The GO looks like the same as manufacturer as the San Diego Coaster, Seattle

Tony Halfner has a really great looking train set that has a very nice color
flow (although not bilevel). After seeing this I was inspired to try a
Coaster or Sounder using Tony's coloring techniques.

(...) Wow, that is a nice color scheme. I really like the color on the engine. I wonder if the cars would look better if the blue between the doors went down as low as the doors. (instead of bumping up and down around the doors. Chris (23 years ago, 20-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes, indeed. The reason I put them up on the sides was that they looked to goofy 6 studs away from each other. If I had a longer wagon (which I plan to make in the future) I will incorperate that into the design. (...) If I ever get a chance (...) (23 years ago, 18-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
