    I see in this month's MR a photo of a pre-production model of the Baldwin Centipede. It states it will be available in U.P. colors. Did they own one, or run a demonstrator in their colors? If they did.................................I want one!

    UP ordered two but, the order was canceled in April 1947 after a promised August 1946 delivery date became August 1947. The two units were completed in March 1948 as Baldwin demonstrators 6000 and 6001.
