Thanks, Dan! Kato really set a high standard early on. And after a certain point their units hold up amazingly no matter how old they are as long as they were even the least bit well maintained.

Kato locos are almost always remarkable performers. This one is no different. 😊👍👍

True. but like I always say. Nothing is immune to poor maintenance.

@@Trains-With-Shane definitely. But the Katos seem to be somewhat more resistant. I’m not sure why. But they rarely need wheel cleaning compared to others. Some kind of conductive magic!! 😊

Work has been a real drain lately. And there have been ups and downs otherwise as well. Seems like one step forward, two steps back lately. But. still pushing ahead because it's all I know how to do.

Nice review of that gp35 right there! Runs really good!

I was almost sure that the wheels might need a little polish but I was pleasantly surprised.
I don't usually pay a large amount of attention to prototype accuracy. But it's not outside the realm of possibility that one could end up having been painted like this. I've got a picture somewhere where some road painted either a GP7 or GP9 up into this late scheme. When the old GP prototypes were either two tone red-orangish or blue and silver. But I really like the blue-white EMD demo scheme
