I like the black shade (Color? Hue? Not sure what word is accurate there) of that CR electric. I'm trying to get a "new" shiny look without being over done. I'm thinking that high gloss black is over done and needs toned down a notch or two. To strip or not to strip the paint off...I'm still mulling that one over.
This second attempt engine does sit higher than my first attempt engine because I've removed the engine's motor, gearing, and metal conducting strips from the trucks/frame to make it a dummy engine. So it rests lower than the other engine which is still an intact and powered unit. I'm going to replace the metal conducting strips in the first one so it is the correct height.
Thanks again for all the input guys...once again I'm learning a lot and appreciate the advice.
