repaint & its a custom Cause the originals were the color that the letters of Rio Grande were in & RG lettering was black
For starters thats a lousy but ok decal work
The D&RGW on engine #101 is crooked
The decals are bubbling or cracking

I'm thinking that if they're Ken's engines and they're to Ken's taste, that's one part of the world that's actually right.

True, if he did them, but I gathered he is a prospective buyer and not the maker...

| So the guy can't even read where it says Rio Grande on the side instead of Santa Fe? He wouldn't know a factory finish from a four year old's fingerpaint re-do then.
