The higher gloss finish looks good on the F and E series car body locomotive that commonly are used for passenger service, while I think the satin finish is more appropriate on the more industrial looking Spartan cab freight locomotive
I like the term “satin finish” and agree “more appropriate on the …. Freight locomotive.”
Here’s an Atlas GP15 model. I think it hits the “satin finish” mark quite Nicely. Of course IMO.
