A few of us here have seen this on Facebook and I want to share with the rest of you.  Fantastic paint job.

For some reason this video has been removed from Facebook.  Hope you got a chance to see it before it's removal.  Sure to see more of it soon,  Kato sure needs to do this one,

I'm hoping for it too, and will get it solely based on what it stands for, may not fit my eras, however its nice seeing all these support for our troops.

Would be nice to see a portion of proceeds go to Wounded Warrior or similar foundation, if/when a unit is produced.

Unit was dedicated in DC today.  Have seen a couple photos but nothing real clear of the side of the unit.

That loco needs some blue!  Even a thin strip somewhere on the body. As-is, it looks decidedly non-American.   :facepalm:
EDIT: Um, if the stars are on a blue field, it looks way too dark.  Could it just be a bad photo?

Photog was on the shady side. We'll have to wait a day or two for somebody to catch it in full sun.
