You can see the inspiration of the paint scheme plainly here in my yard looking southwest at the Front Range on a vibrant morning, those Blue Bird skies vibrant and blue with the touches of golden yellow in the grasses and the silver and white to bring alive the snow on the Rocky Mountains. Beautiful paint scheme. These are not those cool Sunset models but my Key Model Imports 7003 set they are built and engineered as 2 rail models. You could probably gut them and cut up the trucks and make the larger wheels and pick up rollers work if you needed, not sure about the pilot if you need to make it swing, you could use a Dremel and cut it off and paint it I suppose. I’m a 2 rail enthusiast so I’ll refrain from cutting them up for a 3 rail conversion. These both have Loksound decoders and Tang Bang speakers and sound just as good as any MTH Protosound I’ve heard. No smoke, sorry my asthma won’t tolerate it.
