All my diesels except the B&O sunburst GP7 are not heavily weathered. I like diesels to look fairly new. On the 2558, I left the gloss area on the housing side service doors, so I have a little shine. Everything else is dulled down.
I had Marios on order but canceled when you posted #2558. I didn't know during pre-order 10 months ago that dealers all had different road numbers.
Things are no longer selling as O scale prices have skyrocketed into an unobtainable zone for many. If a dealer has an actual item pictured like Muffins, I will decide at that time if to buy it going forward.
I just had to have 2558 over 500.00 as you can see why! Should be in the 349.00 range I.M.O.
Only took 53 years to get a model of one.
