Depending on the era and the engine it could be both ways. I think when they were built new and green they were originally on top but then I know there's a painting of one of them centered. After they were rebuilt and blue most of them were centered. Either way, I think every single one of these Pacifics looks incredible and if I could I would get them all!
So far my blue B&O arrived #5307 the ex-President Harrison who I happen to be related to. The President Washington and the Nickel Plate Road 162 are on the way.
