Looks great I just got the new Atlas B23-7 looks allot like the Dash 8s. the B stands for B trucks the 23 is for the 2750 hp. the -7 stood for the year it was first made 1977.

Definitely has that Southern/Southeastern US "I've lived in humidity all my life" look.

Uhh no, B is for 2 axle trucks, 23 is for 2300 HP that the B23 was and the -7 is for the Dash7 electrical control system not the year it was first available.
