I certainly won't complain. If the blue follows the prototype, then it's right for that prototype. It's NS who screwed-up, assuming their intent was to recapture the N&W blue. In NS's case, it's not a rivet-count, it's a face palm.  :facepalm:

Very nice. I like a bunch of the paint schemes, but I can't go overboard.

For example, the NKP, N&W, and CofG ones look hot, but I don't want too much modern NS stuff floating around.

The only certainty in model railroading is that regardless of what you announce someone will still think you're a putz....wrong handrails.....oh well  :|

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

$10 more than previous GEVO's. My guess is the investment in tooling for the new cab versus the unknown of how many of the NS specific GEVO models will sell.

Would you rather pay the old price for the lower-headlamp model or $10 more for the correct headlamp location?

If the answer is neither, then I guess this is all mute and you just felt like venting your frustration at current pricing. :)
