Isn't that Burlington 4-8-4 a beauty, though? It shows up here kind of often lately when we talk about the ULTIMATE brass model, LOL!
But seriously, folks, when it comes to beautiful 4-8-4's, how come BLI, PCM, Genesis or MTH hasn't released THIS one? IMO those Burlingtons were some of the most handsome Northerns ever built!

Here's one for diesel modelers :http://www.trainweb.org/chessiephotos/html/GM50.html
One story was that it was done to celebrate the railroad's 100th Anniversary.
Another was that it was done as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the model railroaders who were running their (then-new and expensive) brass imports in 'undecorated' condition.
Either way, more than a few 'traditionalist' railfans went ballistic.

That gold paint won't last long.
I'm guessing modeling that would be a cinch with an unpainted brass O5, just add decals and the light and your done.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
I always said brass looks better than plastic
