I built this loco right after the BNSF set came out, but never got around to
taking pics of it. Better late than never...
It took the equivalent of around 15 sets to get all of the necessary dark
green tiles and 1x1 slopes to make this, and BL prices weren’t cheap:-/
But I wanted to model this particular loco, because it is restored and still
runs as a part of the Minnesota Transportation Museum’s collection. It was
the only loco given the moniker “Hustle Muscle”. I’ve included a pic of it
so you can see her IRL. I haven’t decaled mine nicely yet, just some lame
printouts on paper, but I’ll eventually change that. I think she looked
really good running at the NMRA show (where I finally photographed her)--
almost continuously, while lashed to Ross’ BN GP-50 .
