Well, that video is just delightful. I have the MTH Chapelon Pacific (unpainted "engineering" version), and to see the same loco in tinplate was a real treat.
I wish that I had one, not to mention the streamlined 222; the 222 reminds me a bit of a C&NW E-4 Hudson.
Your video has inspired me:
At a train show last year, I bought (cheaply) three plastic "European" (actually, I think that they are
British prototype) passenger cars that someone had painted for the Milwaukee Road. I intend to strip the
orange paint and repaint them in a dark silver/zinc-like color (I'll experiment) to "match" my unpainted Chapelon.
So many projects, so little time.
Great video.
