Yep. I hope the nose job has some functionality like for standing up on the toilet.

When looking at those brutes,the word Krauss-Maffei comes to
mind.Here we go back to the 60's...

Someone tell them to put an HO-scale decal on the nose, rather than N-scale ;-)

It's a pride thing like UPee putting a z-scale shield on the o-scale nose of their power before the wing nuts took over.


TCS - but please keep the lightning stripe.

The king and I don't agree on much but he hit the nail right on the head on this one. Thank god they look completely different from from the 70Ms and 70 Macs. We need a little variety out there.

Is it me or is the CSX on the nose a little off. Seems as if the C sets higher than the SX.

I dont think CSX has painted one YN3 engine with the same lettering. Its pretty bad, remember the OCS F40's?
