Some quick grab shots of my KMI 7003 on one of my photo modules. Without any arguments my personal favorite variant is the blue pilot, I would post the 1947 color Frank Novak collection shot of the Colorado Eagle departing DUS to show just how 7003 looks in that blue pilot, I love it 🥰 but it’s copyrighted violation. You can see the image in Kalmbach ”Great Trains West” 2016 special issue on pages 80-81 acting as the centerfold! 😁 But hey, they are both very nice, but I’m a sucker for the blue, and the slight mods after 1946 so I can run with the domes. Let’s hear it for Sunset for the Eagle cars! Wahoo! 👍☺️
