Kato Kobo UP E-units

Did anybody notice that these are a "less orange" shade of yellow than the original run of UP exec cars?

I wonder, any chance the re-release of the UP exec cars are lighter too?

Did you actually see both units in the same photo clearly showing the color difference?  I'm asking because color matching looking at photos on a computer screen is almost impossible. Plus the original color balance in the camera (or the lighting) can affect color reproduction.

UP used to use a lighter yellow , but lately a darker . American Cheese vs Cheddar . Cheddar stinks .

My Kobo E set matches my first run of exec and the City of LA cars I been picking up to convert to exec duty.
Which ever side of the track I am on is the right side.

Same here, they all pretty much match up. Es, Exec set, and the CoLA cars I have. Now I'm debating on whether to put sound in them or not, so they are just sitting in the jewel cases.
