Ha! Well good on them to advertise it correctly. Red and orange LOL, not in my world. Jason
Ok, I'm not crazy right- that the maroon should be flat, not bass boat sparkly and the red should be a more magenta/red than orange?Im.not sure why they didn't just do a production run in the as delivered Rocket scheme, I'm sure it would sell well.
Are there any photos of the repainted loco floating around on the Interwebs?
Yeah, almost all the photos on the web are of the repainted scheme.
Could it be just a test model and proof of concept?
Well I think wfcn100 and Petoski solved this one- it definitely matches the engine as repainted by the museum looking at the photos. It just seems the museum paint job doesn't match the factory job done I don't plan on buying one (I would be interested in the as delivered scheme however), but I'm intrigued by Kato doing a special run of a museum engine. Perhaps other museum/tourist line schemes will be Kobo offerings in the future?
