We will start off with M&ET #600 which is a 70-Tonner. The locomotive was bought new in October of 1947, and is still in service today. It currently is painted in the new M&ET colors of red and white. Here is what it looks like today:

I have decided that i wanna do #600 as well as #601 in the old M&ET paint scheme however. Here is the old paint scheme of the M&ET:

#600 will be a Bachmann 70-Tonner that will be custom painted to match the old paint scheme in the above picture. I dont know why, but for some reason i like the old paint scheme and want to include it as a little bit of a fantasy unit running with the newly painted units.
This unit was ordered on August 28th, 2009. Delivery of the unit should be soon!!
