Looking for your opinion

Oh wow, the vote is pretty much even! that is about where i still stand. I'm thinking the blue might be harder, i need more decals i can't find.

I have painted one unit into black, #4457. Its looking pretty good, it just needs some weathering.

I actually went with the Engine black, then put floquil "crystal coat" over the engine black (totally transformed the color, but in a good way, it went from flat to shiny, good for the decals), decal-ed, and sealed with more crystal coat. I put it back up on it's trucks, though i have not assembled it all the way ( I figure i should install DCC and stuff so i don't have to keep taking it apart.

once its back together loosely, I'll weather it, then use some glazing to add the cab windows, and it should be done.

here are a couple pictures of it
