Is each locomotive different in its make? Cheers, Ranjit

As a result of that, all locos are more or less unique. Some steam residue is usually modeled, however, dents and dings are not as those are not that easy to model with only paint... For some more pictures of the model, take a look over here: http://www.saebonet.com/...es/germany/37845_web.jpg (website by Svein, who is a member here) or here: http://www.lokdepot.de/i...2050%20gealtert%20B1.jpg

Joined: 18/06/2003(UTC) Posts: 3,009 Location: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA		Yes, Davy, the #37845 Class 50 is truly a nice locomotive, but I am little concerned about the weathering effects. Personally, in real life, German steam engines don't look so dilapidated in service at least the ones that I have seen a couple of years ago. I feel that the weathering effects are either not so well done or over done. Can someone can share close-up pictures of the weathering effects of their locomotive? I would like to make some comparisons. Cheers, Ranjit

On the other hand, I agree with you; weathering on anniversary class 50 locos are poorly done. They don't look realistic, just as if the person doing it had a rush - whatever the reason, this loco is supposed to be a special one so the weathering should be done with care in sufficient time.

The #37845 Class 50 is a nice locomotive, and the packaging is phenomenal. My only concern was the weathering effects on the locomotive. Cheers, Ranjit
