Congrats! I always liked that paint scheme - its far prettier than the orange and black. If the green and yellow is too John Deere-ish, at least the black band is nothing short of classy.
I have parts of a hi-f drive, but have never seen one run. I do have an old Lionel HO GP7 with a similar drive that does run though... it's neat. I like those old belchy motors.

It's funny you mention the John Deere paint scheme. Just a few miles from here there's is a guy/gal that works at a community center who has an old Chevy Chevette! remember those!? Anyway they had it custom painted in you guessed it: John Deere colors down to the wheels anodized yellow and the Deere decals etc. !!! I used to have a picture too bad I can't find it!

You got a good deal on those. Even though I don't collect Athearn or Canadian rails in particular I've always been drawn to this exact Shell/Paint scheme. It's a beautiful pair.
Chessail usually has some very nice items.

You know if it wasn't for Cheez being such a bad Canadian influence on me, I'd have never bought them! I even got some passnger cars! I bet in a few more years when he leaves home he starts his own flippin CULT!?
