I know this pic is almost usless but it's the only example I've seen on the web.
Just need a little help with the road name on this one. Thought it might be a demo unit.
I know it's not a Tyco but any ideas who made it?
Funny how a smell from your childhood makes you build stuff in your basement.

Life-Like GP-38 painted for the British Columbia Railway.
Very pretty paint scheme and pretty intricate for LL - I debated getting a pair of 'em at my last club show but decided to help an estate sale instead.

Thanks man, I grew up in Canada so all the roads I remember seeing or owning are all from the Great White North.

It's a Canuck Road! After the PGE (Pacific Great Eastern), British Columbia Railway added the Dogwood flower to its paint schemes. Now, if it's a paint job by an individual, I say "Bravo!" If it's a Bachmann paint job, I say "wow, good job."
Looks like a GP38-2 John (I live in British Columbia, CA.)
I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out. "I love your catenary!" Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
