You guys are right...they run in pairs and I've been seriously thinking about doing this same "mod" to the other LifeLike currently wearing Amtrak colors. Our grand plan was to make one into the CSX and the other into a cabbage Amtrak Phase 4 and drag it at the end of a northeastern Amtrak consist. But I'm leaning more and more to coloring it in CSX blue. (Maybe I'll be able to get that darn yellow stripe along he bottom of the shell looking better.) There's even a chance that I might repaint the Kato F40PH I have into the CSX blue/yellow for this CSX train. That would give me a dcc engine to pull the train, as both of these LifeLike engines are without motors. I could use the Kato to pull the LifeLike dummy, and still have the other LifeLike as the Phase 4 cabbage engine. Until I decide which way to go...I'll at least try to get this one finished.
