Did anyone decide on which up version they're going to get out of the 4? I'm having a hard time trying to decide which one I want to order. I have my thoughts on #69 or 65 because of the darker trucks but I love the green hood and the big union pacific letting on the tender of #69

In case it helps, here are a couple of snapshots of the TMCC version, which came with large lettering on the fuel tender:

The second photo, which is actually a video still, shows the engine at idle with the red hazard light illuminated. That goes off when the engine moves forward and the Mars light starts up instead. Smoke is coming from the diesel stack in both photos. The turbine smoke starts at about speed step 15-20. The output on both smoke outlets is less than more recent Legacy models and the turbine could do with an extra "kick" both in terms of volume and rate of exhaust, which I hope is implemented in the new version.
