The vast majority of people that I know in the 3-rail hobby world could care less about prototype accuracy. This is the reason that you get NH EP-5s with 4 wheel trucks and fantasy (Great Northern, etc.) paint schemes.

The people on this forum are the exception to the rule. We want accuracy except for oversize couplers, wheels, rail, swivel diesel pilots and that always popular third rail.

I wouldn't know if a real Seaboard diesel is blue and orange or red and black. I do know that NH EP-5s never wore a GN paint scheme. The most popular recent Lionel SP Cab Forward was painted in Daylight colors and it looks great. Many people on this forum were buying Shark nose diesels also painted in Daylight colors. The fact that the SP never had a Shark nose diesel of any kind much less one painted in Daylight colors doesn't seem to matter.

Do we say we want one thing and vote with our wallets for another?
