Which is never good news



It's not even two full weeks into summer (or is it? I can't tell) and I'm already running out of interesting things to do until my girlfriend gets back from Germany and the rest of my friends get back from their vacations and their !@#$%^&* video games. So I decided to take another go at something I used to do a lot of--painting up these scale drawings (http://trainiax.net/mescaleloco.php).

Here are the first two I've completed so far, painstakingly researched for accuracy except for one critical detail. The first person to be a rivetcounter and point out the error gets to suggest what I paint next.

Nope - based on pictures of CN's M636's and C424's, the old scheme didn't have logos on the ends while the zebra stripes did.

I had not noticed the different paint schemes until now. Pretty
neat. I cannot imagine what you missed.
