Lines: 13 Maybe cost is also a factor? One of the earlier postings in here referred to the different colors of locomotives, which reminded me of a historical fact... rail road locomotives used to be painted in various color schemes like this, but then Cornelius Vanderbilt started painting his locomotives all black, in order to save money, which is why the later steam engines were all black. Maybe it would cost a lot more to paint waves, etc. on the shuttles? -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
