Not easy to do |
Description: |
I'm trying to drive and snap a picture of the 9051...not a safe thing to do. In thispicture, he has just passed the entrance to The Harness Track in Pinehurst which is where expensive horses go round and round ! The jockey's hate it when trains go by and the horses go wild. |

Hand painting??? |
Description: |
Has ACWR resorted in hand painting their locomotives now? Lets hope this is just a trial and error kind of thing with the paint color or just hand painting around the trim of each door. |
