Actually it looks a little more like this, but hey....

But the color is closer to the first picture. And the prototype is going to have to repaint a few things because they didn't follow the model very closely.

This is the most excited I've been over a train since I started this stuff. This guy is supposed to run past my store hauling coal as soon as they fini***he spur.

(I guess I don't have a reason for not getting the weathering right, do I?)

Looks like it has 10 fingers and 10 toes. Instead of weathering yours, have them was theirs!

Looks good, congrats. Hope it does the coal hauling proud.
