[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by twhite Actually, I like the dark gray. All you have to do is weather the drivers a little, and it looks like it's REALLY been over the Arizona Divide or through the Tehachapi's. Tom [/quote] Tom You are right about the color and with some weathering; the first engine looks very good. The Santa Fe engines were always very dusty looking since their territory in the Southern California desert is a dusty and dry place. My normal weathering is to use grimy to accent the black and the first BLI SF Northern was almost the grimy color. Just needs the drivers and trucks touched up with grimy and sand to make them look good. I noticed you live fairly close to my area also. I live in Auburn, having just moved back here from the LA area last month. Do you visit Bruce's or Railroad Hobbies? Have a great day. Larry
