I just got the May MR in the mail and saw the ad for these with the little graphic renditions of the paint schemes in living color. I think the Chessie version looks pretty darn good, personally. I’m also really happy to see the D&RGW version - that loco looks as sharp as a razor blade in a pile of broken glass! It’s officially on my wish list now [:D]
Although the Grande famously (or infamously?) never used GE road engines. In keeping with the fantasy thing, you could say they came from the SP. After D&RGW bought SP, suppose the company decided to stick with the “D&RGW” name instead of adopting the “SP” name, so all the former SP units would have to be repainted eventually. (I can just see all the SP fans out there cringing [:D])
