I am wondering if it is being done in engine black, which is the freight colors NYC used in later versions, or in the passenger scheme which is a medium grey. The picture shows that it has a steam heat boiler with the rooftop tank and boiler exhaust pipe on the short hood. ~Jim

That is super as far as i am concerned as I have a picture of one of them pulling NB passenger train in the 1950s at Haworth, NJ, and that station is on my model railroad.
