Intentionally dark since 1) it's unfinished - both the car and the layout 2) I've been working on this project for years, and will debut it at an NASG event 3) I like ambient lighting effects ... and 4) the dark exposure hides the pink foam and unfinished buildings.
L.T. and Rich; your Berks look just fine! I have a couple myself, counting the Polar Express. The other's a C&O. I've been toying around with the idea of grinding off the cast in piping, detailing it and repainting, but I have ENOUGH projects.
