They chose the best possible livery for the first version of this locomotive!

This video has a bunch of great examples of what I expect out of these. Hope they are making High Hoods as well

These locomotives came to NW through the merger with Wabash.

N&W itself would have ordered high hood versions.

I believe reading the article that they were originally made for Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México and when they cancelled they were then sent to Wabash then NW.

That's right, Buzz. The units were initially leased from Alco by Wabash and since they had Spanish-language control stands were only used as B units (and carried "B" prefixes to their road numbers). Wabash later purchased the units and they were fitted for regular use as lead units, etc.

They're good. Worth the $14 more than what Dovefail would charge.

Harry

First glance, if it would have stripes on it it could be a real challenge as the parts seem to be all over the place but that''s just a first look.

What is with these folks putting out content that are apparently run by remote control since they have no engineers? If you all will give me some guidance on what you'd like to see in the cab it took me about two minutes to get this guy in there and I 'd be happy to toss out some bins with drivers.
