I was surprised today when the mailman brought me the engine. Was not expecting it until Saturday.
What a beautiful engine! I tested on DC and it ran smoothly in both F/R and directional lighting worked. The smoke stack came off in shipping, but should be an easy fix.
When I bought it the ad said it was dark green, but if it is dk green it is the darkest green I have ever seen. I think it is black, which is what I wanted since I am going to paint it and the base coat was going to be black for the SAL or SCL can't decide yet.
I could not be happier with how it looks. Here are a couple of pictures fresh out of the box.
