I would like to ask the opinion of the more experienced member to know if the ATSF GP7 in the zebra stripes paint scheme above

with its very light weathering of white dust proportionally more from the boogies than less on the side and front/end and nothing on the roof can it be recon rapresentative of a locomotive of  fresh appearence just slightly used ?

thanks very much for your opinion

advices are welcome

hi Rich
thanks for pic and reply
i was aware of this foto as i love this website very much
this seems to be fully weathered and you are right to call it the real deal
I do not want my ATSF GP7 zebra stripes to look too much weathered
i would like it to have a fresh appearence but with  just a very light dusty pattern
that is why i ask if
in your opinion the above gp 7 light proportional dusting can it be representative for what i wish ?
thanks very much for your reply
