#2 Wintersville Express
Posted by REI on Friday, August 31, 2007 11:49 AM

This is the engine that is #2 in my roster; was made in 1999 by New Bright . I decided that I would paint her exactly like #2 Lilly Belle of the Walt Disney World Railroad, only her name is the same as always. I gave her the new paint scheme in June, and it only took me one day!Cool [8D] I also added classification lamps!

  

This is her original paint scheme:

 

And now:

 

I'm sure that anyone who knows how WDWRR #2 looks like, they would agree that #2 Wintersville, has a strong resembelance. Enjoy!!

I like to keep my locos as they come out of the box, and let time age them but as I say its upto each of us that what ever suits you and the ten foot rule applies ( if it looks good at that distance its ok Cowboy [C):-)]

Yeah I know, I'm like that with some of my engines too (especially the older ones).
