This is probably the reason I'm in HO now.  And yes, it runs as nicely as it looks.









HO sure does love the exposed coupler springs! ::)

That nose looks slightly different than the older model.

Hey Tom,
Can you post some more pictures of both ends and a full top shot please ?

I asked Walthers to do these in N but I think I have a better chance of scratchbuilding one.  ;D

I don't know, but I was about to accuse the Chinese until I noticed that it is correct for the prototype. ;D

The MILW also had some with a bit different style of grab too.  Could be to clear the little door there.

But by all means, don't let me be right about anything.  I will take this to another thread if I have to. ;D

On this photo, do you think that the top black is painted over the orange stripe?

No.

Too me it looks like the black goes exactly to the top of the maroon stripe.
