Hi Guys
Here are 3 pics of the LTEX 1531 Mountain State Carbon switcher that was just redone at LTEX (Larry Truck Electric ) and arrived in Willard Ohio today being shipped out to its new home and waiting here in the RX stub track for its shipping papers

I like the color combo...much better than all black.

Looks good. Being the light foamer I am, is that a beacon on the cab?

Nice change up from traditional Black scheme. Looks like a remote control unit. LTEX does it again. I would invest in that company if stock was available.

Many recent LTEX repaints actually have been in this scheme, except with red instead of green. Reportedly the owners of LTEX are Ohio State fans.

This one may have been painted green at the request of the customer.

LTEX's red/gray was based on RailTex's paint scheme...Plus, everyone in Ohio seems to like rooting for those useless nuts--the Buckeyes!

Probably Follansbee, WV across the Ohio river from Mingo Junction, OH. It is a coke plant; I'm not sure of the present ownership but they shipped a lot of coke to Sparrows Point, MD when Severstal owned the steel plant there.
