Finally got the tender from the custom painter today, and unfortunately it will be heading back out tomorrow. He had forgotten the NEW YORK CENTRAL fonts changed to sans-serif modern style on PT tenders. The clear coat was also a little too dead flat to match the engine; it will be toned up on the second try. Paint job and new coal pile is flawless otherwise. It was a neat "what-if" had the NYC stayed with the classic Roman serif fonts.
