A charming Pacific. What are all those buttons?

Glad you are keeping this history alive - too bad we do not have 48/ft so you could publish in lasting hard copy.
I have this weird affinity for blue passenger cars - working on a couple of your Kasiners to get L&N blue.

Oh - and I have a non-prototypical blue MoPac Berkshire.

Doesn't look blue, but it really is!
