I think its just a funny angle on the logo. It may look better if seen straght on. At least you know they would be able to spell resourceful right.

Actually, I think what's causing a lot of the problems is the craptastic photos that IMRC continues to use. They make it impossible to tell from them whether the models are good or not.

Maybe that's intentional, I don't know, but I know that in person, these things often look better than their blurry, overcompressed jpegs let on. The SD40-2Ws were a perfect case. Someone was showing better pics of them, and they looked WORLDS better than the IM photos made them look.

The ARMN cars finally showed up on MBK today and they're all out of stock the same day (WTF?).  Anyway, they got the color right (white) and other than ride height, they look pretty good.  These and the BLMA reefers will look right at home on my soon-to-appear Edison packing house spurs.

Not as bad as MT's monthly release  jpegs though.   :P

Nope, it's not the camera...
