#601 is also a 70-Tonner. The locomotive was bought new in February of 1949, 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:

Like #600, #601 will be a Bachmann 7-Tonner painted in the older M&ET paint scheme just to give a little variety to the M&ET roster. Here is what #601 used to look like and what the model will look like:
