Add correct paint (Williams, Weaver, MTH and Atlas with their 0-6-0 all seemed to have no problem with Pennsy Dark Green Locomotive Enamel) and I'm good. Only Lionel seems to repeatedly confuse the PRR color with US Army olive drab.

Any 1369 pics anywhere ??? - I definitely need to see it before a purchase / not a fan of the light “Army Green”

I'm not sure the color is as bad as some of the photos posted here seem to indicate. I don't want to post pictures without @Cmontagna's permission, but if you watch his last video on the L1s, there are some parts where it looks pretty black. The paint color seems to be sensitive to the light hitting it. Which is what DLGE should do. It's not black, it's not green. I'll reserve judgement until I have it in-front of me.

That said, IMHO it's much easier to fix a paint job than to re-engineer and rebuild a driveline. Not that I'm an expert on either.
