Wrong...
Walthers made this the wrong color for PRR. Having seen a real PRR GP9 this is to green and not dark enough.

Wrong color!!
Absolutely the wrong color. Ive seen the real thing in person. This model is way to light colored and green in person no matter what light spectrum it's under. It doesn't match my other correct darker PRR models I have. Runs smooth, detail look nice. I dont have any pictures of the prototype to compare accuracies.
