Dave, the 3256 is a composite based on several CNR locos. Its owner wanted a CN loco with an all-weather cab, and an Elesco feedwater heater, and wanted it weathered heavily to represent a locomotive very near the end of its service life. Some photos of it seem a little "off" in their colour, but I did apply some rust-coloured pastels to the firebox and smokebox. In person, the effect is fairly subtle.
