Hint:  Take a look at the type of car and reporting mark/number..

It took me a minute to figure it out..  ~Ian

It took me a bit to figure it out (especially since there was standard graffiti on the lower left of the car).  That is a very clever way to tag a RR car.   The photo was taken 6 years ago - I wonder how many more cars are out there now, tagged in similar fashion.

Love it.

(Even though in that paint scheme it should be 'Cold' and not 'Gold'.  :trollface:  Maybe he was just testing us though. )

Yeah I thought 'Solid Gold' was one of the slogans...
Quick search found:
Solid Cold, Solid Gold, The Chiller, Real Cold

So I guess this would technically be a Graffiti Heritage Foobie with 2 Color errors..

AKA.. Prototype Micro Trains car.... (Kidding Joe)  :D

Kidding aside: This would be cool concept for a Modern Runner Pack.

Modern Cars Graffiti'd with Heritage Paint schemes and/or Classic Billboard schemes.

I believe "Solid Cold" cars were mechanical refridgerators. "Solid Gold" was insulated only.
