What time was it for you when you posted? The post date here (Eastern Standard Time) says 2:02 AM...Packer: What year are you modeling? The SD45s were built between 1965 and 1971 and the F45 between 1968 and 1971. If it's near then, the locos definetely could be new. Either that or they could be freshly repainted. The GN was merged into BN in 1970, and their F45s could have survived a few years in their GN scheme before they were repainted into BN, which could be the new paint job that makes them look so clean.Also, you could just add a little bit of weathering, such as on the trucks, pilot, and roof areas. The wouldn't be hard to do and would probably be easier to explain than having it brand-spanking clean.
