Most Weathered 44 tonner?

I'm looking for suitable weathering projects to celebrate Bachmann's 44 tonner.  Here are some:

You looking for something that can still move cars, or an abandoned hulk?

Well, both the pictured locos are at railway museums, part of the outdoor collection.

Also, the Vancouver Wharves engine isn't a 44-tonner. Looks to be an 80-tonner. Unfortunately, the closest thing in model form to an 80-tonner is the 44-tonner, in terms of overall appearance.

Brilliant!  That's how you get it to run as smoothly as a Kato... load it on a flatcar, and pull it with a Kato!  Problem solved.  My invoice is in the mail.

Oh yeah Tom.

Step 1.  Buy a 44T
Step 2.  Worry how to paint it later  ;)
