Ya know, Mark, if you hadn't added the "chalk and chimney soot" and "chalk and hairspray" comments to your listing, and so overhyped the unit as to put P.T. Barnum to shame, I might'a bought it (your story, that is - not the locomotive). But when you start the weathering discussion with "Unlike many so-called, 'customized' models," and spend six paragraphs singing the praises of this . . . thing??? And your friend "grew up near the rail yards of Sacramento," and thought this looked anything like what he's been seeing most of his life? I live near Sacramento myself, in a house that backs up to the mainline. I see at least 50 locomotives a week, and I can assure you I've never seen anything that even remotely resembled that so-called weathering job. Oh, by the way, anyone who knows anything about weathering has a can of Testors Dull Cote (or something similar) on hand to seal the decal and weathering job, and to dull the unrealistic shine that doesn't exist on any locomotive that's been out of the shop for more than about 3 days. So yeah, we know all about clear coating.
