I thought I had come across some MTHs in this paint scheme in my searches for project diesels. Again, like you said though, seems pretty rare.
@UncleSalty-nz5uk9 сағат бұрын
@naxshack I think MTH's first run of SD45s were available in this scheme. There was one on that place with a Z, but way more than what I would pay for Proto1. I feel Proto1 locos are worth 50-60% less than original MSRP.

@huntercoleman460 Your biggest monopoly now is CPKCS. Only class one railroad in 3 countries. Ironically the ICC was formed to prevent railroad monopolies. Both UP and BNSF share many similar routes, so they kinda just work together and offer shippers a choice in who they want to use.

Yes, lots of details but also things that will break off without a major derail or handeling. There is a big gap between frame and trucks. Comment the video made it could be more robust. With 6 wheel trucks the benefit of drive is lost with only 4 driving. I have total distaste for rubber band tires on a train. To me all steel wheels driving is more important than delicate details. Thanks for presentation.
