I have interest in one of these locos. There are 2 versions listed on the website. I would like to know your thoughts but more so I would like to see some pics if you would please. Thank you

What are the model #'s?
If you're talking about the Erie Lackawannas, Mr. Muffin's shows them in this video (starting at 1:02).
I am referring to the ACY versions. One is a yellow/green scheme and the other is a blue/silver scheme. Item numbers 20-21694-1 and 20-21695-1.
Hopefully the quality of the picture is good enough. At least there's some ability to compare to the other units.
By the way, can I send you a bill for reimbursement on my purchases? 
I really should know better than to walk into Stockyard Express with no plan.

naresar, thank you for the pics. Quality of the pics is very good. I have been looking at photos of the prototypes and have noticed that the "Akron Canton Youngstown" is always on the side of the walkway and not the side of the long hood. Wonder why MTH decided to do this?? (at least on the yellow and green unit) The green on that unit appears to be more black and not green.
It's definitely a green, you can compare to the Jersey Central that 's a little bit below it. And now I'm wondering if the lighting was a little more off than I thought because that Pan Am unit in the upper right probably shouldn't be that dark either. In any case, the ACY, as far as I can recall, never had any of the 6 axel FM diesels, just 4 axel versions. So I suspect that the yellow/green is a little bit of a what if.

It’s pretty much a fantasy since the real 505 was a H20-44. The MTH model is a H24-66 FM Train Master. Fantasy or not, it looks awesome.

It's definitely yellow & black, and as of today, there is only 1 left at Stockyard. Only 2 of the blue version remain. So if you want one...you better act quickly.
