Jerry -
I have a dozen of the Athearn Genesis Santa Fe F3's & F7's and those are by far the BEST ever at capturing the SS look. From the picture you posted, I would say that it looks like a 98% match which in my book gets an A++.
Go with it. Sure, you could post additional pictures using different angles but I am pretty sure the results would be the same. What is important, is that the Athearn unit and your sample were BOTH taken at the same 90 degree angle.
The next step is to make sure that it won't "flake" when exposed to tempurature ranges of 20 to 100 degrees. Which may sound extream, but if somebody in the midwest has a layout in their attic that range of very possible.
Thank you and Atlas for putting forth the extra effort to
get it right. I am sure that you will be rewarded with sales far beyond your expectations. Yes, the Santa Fe F7's & F3's have been produced for the 3-rail market for almost 70 years...
But this time it looks like it has finally been done right. BRAVO!
