Here are my 2c on the entire thread thus far,

I'm still concerned that the 4 wide battery is too wide to conceal in the hood
of a 6 wide mode of a typical American road switcher (i.e., just about every
American locomotive built since 1968). I guess that means a bunch of powered
boxcars and push along engines. Since there will still be situations where we
might want to build the battery box into a 4 wide hood, please make it in black
and without any unnecessary corner cuts so that we can build it flush into our
models. Even better, make it in a few colors, but if only one color, please make
it black.

I would hope the box would be black too but I suspect the first PFS trainset
will determine its colour (or colours if we're really lucky).

Remember, though, that a lot can be concealed in the cab of a train leaving no
more the two or three studs 'loose' on a typical US train. Covering or
disguising that should be easy enough.
