There can't be too many people around the globe who have multiple yellow 15a Diamond T prime movers for a color comparison photo as you've provided Antonin. Thank you for that. Within my personal collection my yellow 15a is clearly closer in color to the true yellow models.

Thanks John and Greg for comparison, very nice and informative photos. It is clear to see how the shades could vary. On the John´s photo the diferrence between butterscotch and yellow is not so intensive, and it is hard to say to which model matches the 15a Prime Mover better. On the Greg´s photo 15a matches to 11a standard yellow, similar to my experience.

a) without cab brace
b) with cab brace
