I bought a Athearn U30B painted as Chessie System C&O 8212 I was woundering if the unit had the older body style (the Athearn model) or the newer U30B body style. ------------------ LONG LIVE THE KITTEN!!!

It's been a while but here's a link to a photo of Chessie (C&O) 8212. I may have seen that unit near Huntington, WV back in the good old (read: pre-CSX) days but no photos. Here's the link: https://www.rr-fallenflags.org/co/co8212tba.jpg
