Fresh from the paint shop, this morning, rolls Penn Central DD40-X, cleaned and
lubed. Inspiration by the Busss. My black paint had dried up, so used Sea Blue for
the touch up on the rails and such. Used a bottle of Sublime Green for the body
color.

Nice work with your decals, but looks more like lime green than Jade green. I guess you could always say it faded.
or do like I do and run it real fast.

Here are my 259's.
The one on top is a lower priced 259, with a lever in the cab to switch between forward and reverse.
The lower one is a higher priced 259E, it has a reverse unit and a lever on top to lock it in any direction.
The 259 runs, haven't dug into the 259E yet.

Thank you Paul for the info on the Tinplate loco I now have. Mine must be a 259, and the reverse switch is inside the cab.
