A minor yet cosmetically interesting point; as Chris pointed out in his detailed video review, one of the short-tendered versions has the PRR maroon colored cab roof (shown as prototypically correct hue) but the same model has the wrong orange colored tender deck whereas none of the long-tendered versions have the PRR maroon colored option. Taking a wild guess, the Juniata shops used this color (3-digit cab #s) whereas the Baldwin Works did not (later 4-digit cab #s)? Personally, I like the PRR maroon colored roofs, but not so much the orange red that sometimes gets done on the toy-train production and catalog lines
