Prototype Information:

Now, we can't forget MKT's entry into the Bicentennial party. Unit 200 was chosen and repainted into a striking red, white and blue scheme similar to their current green and yellow scheme. The front had red and white stripes, the body featured a light blue and the hood had an American flag prominently painted onto the doors. We've captured every detail MKT had on these units, right down to the correct 2,600 gallon tanks.
