I have been on a bit of a plastic diesel buying binge lately with locos I want to repaint, and some that are getting stripped of their trucks and motor do make a better Baldwin S12. - actually 2 for now for PRSL (It came with the wrong ALCO trucks!)

This SW1 is going to be Reading at some point. I seem to like the SW1 the best. It is a shame to strip off all those pretty colors but I have no use for Burlington. It is going to be the original scheme.

I just got a Reading Diesel book that has roster info and is pretty good. If I could only get a good close up shot of the Trainmaster pilot/coupler area!
