Andre, I think no matter how hard you'll try not to, your KC&G units will show up on your railroad somehow...
Rusty
Ah Rusty, but there is a catch: I modeled my KC&G units to reflect the state of disrepair that many railroads were experiencing in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Thus, the majority of my KC&G units are quite neglected looking.
BUT...
My upcoming KC Lines theme is based in the early 1960s... so typically most railroad units weren't as worn as I depicted for 1970. Thus, a worn and battered KC&G unit will sort of look "out of place" among the better overall condition that SHOULD be represented by the units of the early 1960s KC Lines.
However, as with all things, the wise old saying comes to the fore: WE SHALL SEE!
OH... but there WOULD be exceptions. For example, here's a picture of a Missouri Pacific RS3 taken in the EARLY 1960s...
And here's a picture of a KC&G RS3 that is similarly weathered that could fit in okay with the early 1960s scheme..
And YES, I DO want a Mop RS3 for the layout just as nasty as the above Mop #974!!
