Are there any professional "restoration" guys out there who could repaint the smoke box and boiler front black or dark graphite, and lighten the rods, and/or remove the white walls. I wouldn't want it weathered, still want to keep the nice crisp newness of the locomotive number board and oval. Any recommendations?

I plan to do those things myself, eventually. I will just enjoy it as it is for a while.

The rods may be able to be tin plated but I got a set from the CCII Niagara I will use and save the blackened ones for the next guy. I also have allen drive screws I will use to replace the phillips screws on the rods. I plan to use them on the CCII Niagara first and will post pics when done.

D&H, I now have a checklist I go through on new engines including the drawbar and eccentrics. Too many times the eccentrics are loose, bind on the first couple of turns and bend the valve gear.
