It do find this engine interesting as I think (and beauty is in the eye of the beholder) that someone at EMD really dropped the ball regarding the paint scheme in regards to the intended purpose of the locomotive.
It is not a secret that EMD had great art and designs for the customers and yet, this is the best they could do?
I wonder if this event pre-dates the EMD design/art department… that might explain the deficiencies with this project.
In any case, the model looks great and a pretty faithful representation of the prototype based on the few images posted here.
Enjoy your train.
