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

#2 Wintersville Express

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!!
