My friend Lynn was painting this to sell and I thought I needed it for myself. I think his custom work is some of the best out there.

I saw it up close and personal when I visited Dave's shop this afternoon. Truly a first-rate paint and lettering job--so good you would think it came directly from a manufacturer.

I walked out of Dave's store a couple of grand poorer later in the afternoon (Climax set, some Alaska rolling stock, and a whole lot of GarGraves track for the layout's refit), but definitely a happy camper. I liked the Climax so much that I ordered a second one (different livery and number) before I even got out the door.

A Saturday afternoon at your LHS is an afternoon well spent, in more ways than one!

I really like the look of that switcher Dave. Great piece to add to a B&LE collection. That would look nice next to my set of B&LE F7's .
