That would look perfect hauling something like this:
No better use for a Tyco BN boxcar, I say. Those should be resold with paints and chalks as craft kits!

Hey Tony:
yeah, I mean why "totally redo it" there's lots of newish Tyco stuff out there. If you don't appreciate the "plant switcher" character of this, well just move along....!

| Actually it looks pretty dead convincing as a short-line grunt. I recall there were a couple alcos working a small grain short line in IL some years ago that looked almost as bad. For what it is, that loco has more authentic character than a lot of other repaints I've seen.
