Poll Question:
Ever since I first saw the "Lady Lionel" (AKA "Girls' Train") I was quite taken with the pastel colors - I think they look quite nice. Recently, I've started painting up a bunch of my rolling stock in the same sorts of colors. I have specific colors in mind for several of them, but not all of them. I'm having trouble deciding on what to paint the autorack, so I figured I'd poll everyone here who doesn't want to mug me and confiscate my trains after reading this.

Mint green seems to be leading the poll. I admit I'm a bit hesitant to about painting it sky blue, since that's the color I've painted my caboose and autoracks generally at the back from what I've read.

The question is what are you gonna load it with. Cariages? Pink corvettes?
Also, I think you need a stock car loaded with unicorns.

Not going quire that direction, Autobus Prime :P And a stock car full of unicorns? Please. They're too powerful and sentient for that. I am going to have a few unicorns as kind of an easter egg though.
What I'm going to load the autorack with is car-shaped dummies covered with tarpaulins to free up the Chevy Citation IIs it came loaded with for layout use.

Do you save pencil eraser shavings and soap shards, too?
I voted for mint green, by the way. What other color is there?

Ahahahaha no. But those Citations and seven JTT autos are the only HO cars I have to my name, and the JTT autos are being a pain to open up the windows on because of how thickly cast they are. A slip-up while working on one a few weeks ago gave me a nasty cut in my left index finger. The skin has since healed, but the flesh below is still working on fully recovering.
Looks like mint green wins. Would a mod please close the poll?

I like a lot of different colors being a lifetime car/restorer. The pastel colors can be a hit. The mint green in my opinion is a good choice. Since grade school until today, I favored the Crayon color of "Sea Green"...
