It came out pretty nice, and thanks for the credit! I'd like to think that over
the years, a number of cabeese have been inspired by that one (all the good
looking ones, and none of the ones that look too tall, naturally :-) ).

My railbox has yellow sides and a red roof and floor, it doesn't look TOO bad.
I think red with a plate thick yellow stripe also looks good, I use that scheme
(actually two stripes, one at floor level, one just below the window line) to
great effect in my doodlebug.
So I'd say you CAN get red and yellow to work together, but you have to work at
it. Try solid red with a yellow door, that's actually prototypical (plug door
service).
