Finally, in one week I got two of my top 5 TYCO's, the Chessie SD24 and the GM&O GP20!!!! One thing that concerns me is on my SD24 the trucks (Black vs Grey). There is also a difference in the paint (mine seems lighter). The paint might be explained by a flash and I have to wait until I actually get it before I jump to any conclusions. My picture is from the ebay auction and the other picture is from Tony L. GIC web site.

The one shown from my site has an IHC frame swap - when the EXIF caption plugin was compatible with my site's code, this was all explained. Every time I explore options to fix this it opens up a ginormous cascading rabbithole of coding and program and site design update options I don't have time or reason to test and finish - sorry for the confusion.
The "actual color" is probably somewhere between the two photos. I have 3 of them now and they are all identical, and all beautiful - one of my top 5 favorites as well :) One is stock, the other is my IHC bash, and the other was found at a train show for $5 with an Athearn conversion and operating ditch lights...! I really need to just MU them all together one day.
