I thought John would appreciate these photos of detailed & weathered Rivarossi B&O steamers from prrho.com. They were recently featured in a MR newsletter.

Nelson,
Thats AWESOME! I have all of those, BUT the President Washington, (I have the President Washington in Mantua, from their "Collectable" series locomotives from 1996.)
That Dockside is awesomely detailed!

If I'm not mistaken, the hose hanging off the front is just a piece of the stiff single-strand hookup wire Rivarossi used.
The weathering makes those pizza cutters less obvious.

I have to say the 0-4-0 looks AWESOME, but that EL-5 is nice, but its not a true B&O 2-8-8-0 either as its based off a N&W model with a 'Rossi 2-10-2 tender behind it and a few detail changes.....
Impressive? a 'Rossi 2-10-2 done up like that!
