Not sure I would have chosen sky blue. But the tender trucks are pretty cool though.

I like the sky blue. The 3 axle rear tender truck seems unnecessary but its cool

Either drunk OR was hard of hearing as people with that tends to be "loud" in other ways!

Interesting I might add, but it does look good, altho, its not got a "super tender" to carry out a "C&O practice" with the triple axle tender truck but.......OK anyway looks good tho!

It's like a locomotive from the classic Disney cartoons like "The Brave Engineer", though Walt would probably have painted it something more... Traditional.

I would've gone with more darker colors. Not bad though, just needs darker colors.
