A better idea in my view would be to build the locomotives withOUT the
bases. The red and yellow stripes should be the same width. (technically
there should be a black one as well...) Using those red bases messes that up.


Okay, so where does the Black stripe go -- on the bottom or in between the
other colors?

On this page
http://www.midwestnpioneer.org/timetable/fallenflags/superchief.html it
shows a black stripe above the yellow. It also looks like the red line is
about the same width as the yellow & black combined, so maybe you could use
the red bases (2 plates high) with one plate each of yellow & black.
Wouldn't match the loco, though, unless you modify that too.

This ref has been posted a bunch of times now, and I agree it's great. But
I've got to go dig up a different one to get a contrasting view. This link
shows the coaches have no stripes at all, like I said earlier in the thread.
