On the older cars usually on the Antonito side, I think this is a BIG improvement. Why, the red stands out and you don't notice the flatcar frame as much. On the old green scheme, especially when dirty, the black frame blends into the rest of the car giving it the weird-not-like-anything-else-you've-ever-seen look.
I reserve the right to change my mind when I see these in person, but I hope they paint all the cars they plan to use together instead of seeing the cars get mixed, christmas style.
