Well executed 👍🙂👍🙂👍🙂😜😜😜 MP Jenks blue !!!
Well done Scott !!!!!
I picked up my E5b yesterday from my local UPS drop off location. I did not have time to take it out of the box, but excited to have the extra HP to pull my now 10 car heavyweight CBQ train.
Got shipping notice (got one about NYC 20th Century run #2 too) last week . . . ETA Friday. E6A Seaboard Citrus scheme and E6A demo inbound for me (the prototype E6A demo was eventually bought and renumbered by SAL) to make a legit A-A pair.
A friend just mailed me and said that he had just received his MILW EP electric.

Sounds like a great train! What cars are you running?

That is a gorgeous model.

Hey Santiago. The train will be mostly GGD cars. Four coaches, the RPO, the diner, a Pullman pool 12-2 sleeper, and the observation with the Roman style font. I also picked up the Atlas (MTH) special run silver RPO and the baggage car from Berwyn's to go with this set. Not really based on a prototype train, but I'll be pleased. I also have a few coaches GGD coaches and baggage car that need a run through the paint shop if I can ever find my Zephyr era decals that I purchased for them a few years back. 
Pulled the B unit out of the box tonight. Nicely done as I anticipated.
Super! I’m expecting my late era E5A. Gotta run those short locals!

I'd love to see your professional photos when you recieve it!
Quick snap of my SAL #3016 right out of the box. This one is 3 rail and came with the closed pilot (made of substantial metal -- not plastic) already mounted. The colors and graphics are great! Looks like it's pulling into Tampa's Union Station about 83 years ago. :-) WTG 3rd Rail team!
