I thought this was sort of a neat looking collection of motive power with the CR clone and it's predecessors. The PRR clone is unpowered.

Actually I did wear a velour tux, to the prom, in a bit deeper blue :)
This is actually a really different looking CR blue than others I have and have used.

There are a few CR Blue shades. I've actually seen one I like, and hopefully Nelson is way to busy to notice my saying that, I hate to think of him in tears!
Anyway from another forum....

Nice Lashup! Looks Good Although I Doubt That They All Were Painted In Those Schemes At The Same Time.

I'm too blown away by the modeling skill to care about the Smurfette scheme. They do look better all grimed up.

IKR! (Sorry picked that up from my kids!)
It's almost impossible to tell it's a model. Beautiful work.

Ben;
It's IKR=I know, Right? It's an expression my Daughters used to use.
It's a model. A refection of immense skill.

The subtle weathering makes a huge difference in how the details are seen. Great model!

Hey Ben:
At one time, it was though with many level crossings that it afforded the crew greater protection in the event of a collision.
