http://f-units.com/ Better than the "sex pistols", but not the Clash. Of course, Punk is as retro as first generation power now. |

The initials "F" and "U" on the nose of the diesels on their site seem befitting for their style... |

Probably just follow the Franklin, Union & Central Kentucky paint scheme. |

To quote the website: "The name 'F-Units' is a metaphor for the band's sound which is fueled by power-pop hooks and raunch-rock riffs slammed together with the mind-numbing force of a streamlined freight train." Are power-pop hooks cheaper than diesel? Not a bad sound, actually. If you watch the interview (I know you ALL want to) they admit they are not railfans.

I got the one with the F Units & skull. Wonder how many they'll sell from this thread. They should donate 10% to RYPN as a finder's fee. |

You mean they came clean and acknowledged so??? Definitely a shocking revelation. I never leave the house without a train or traction themed shirt just to hide my non-foamer orientation. Maybe someday I'll have the courage they showed and come out of the closet. |
