Folks, as promised here are a couple of quick iPhone pics of the OLR cancer awareness box car along with the newly arrived MTH cancer cure ES44 and matching caboose. The MTH locomotive and caboose have a bit more of a fuchsia/magenta hue in their paint scheme. But the pink color of the OLR boxcar complements the pink in the ribbon graphics of the MTH locomotive and caboose quite nicely.
Now I need to order a string of the OLR cancer awareness hoppers to go along with the boxcars! This will make for an eye-catching train -- especially with the flashing charger lights on the ES44 locomotive.
Nice job, MTH. The silver trucks on the loco and caboose are a nice touch! Thank you for producing this locomotive/caboose set. I unexpectedly encountered a first-hand bout with this disease during the Summer. The doctors at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia removed a very small mass and surrounding tissue from my leg to obtain clear margins back in July. I couldn't help but think how coincidental it was that this locomotive/caboose literally arrived in my hands yesterday, just after I returned back from my first post-surgical MRI and chest X-ray earlier in the day at Fox Chase (which I'll need to do every 3 to 4 months for a couple of years). So this train will always hold a very special meaning for me -- especially with the 2015 road number as a date-stamp.
