 So perhaps it's as much the varnish as the power pulling them? I know of a 
 whole buncha railfans who'd wet their knickers if they saw a Conrail freight 
or an Amtrak engine for that matter, pulling a set of old NYC lightweight 
passenger 
 cars, still in NYC livery.

Well sure. A-B-B-A sets of F's were pretty good too. Especially in Central.  
Some little shortline in Ohio ran a couple of E units in freight service this 
summer for the people who owned them and it made quite a stir, too.  
 
Now if our local NRHS chapter were to get out their ex US Army H10-44 and  
stretch it's legs on the shortline that would be pretty cool too.
