    I spotted this on the UP in Rosenberg today. I don't remember exactly where this railroad ran. Was it between Samoa and Fiji? Did it ever make it to Oz?

    Thanks to Richard Percy's Espee Modelers Website and Clyde King.

    I am amazed that it is not a repaint.

    This is an excellent example of a well weathered engine! Looks a little bit like fun with a can of white spray paint. But I'd still take this, over the alternative color! [​IMG]

    mmmmm scarlet and grime :D

    One of the best things I've seen was some newly cleaned or painted or refurbished locos in Roseville several years ago with "S P" layed out on the side with masking tape.

    Actually, that's the cleanest SP unit I've seen in quite a while
