Agreed.

I wish they'd do up one of the ex cons in blue!

Absolutely stunning.  Kudos to NS for not just putting lipstick on a pig, but for saving that SD40-2 from the deadline.  Since it had been retired for six or seven years, I assume that must have been a lot of work to bring it back, especially to restore it to operating condition and return it to revenue service.  And, so many details seem correct for a Southern unit: high short hood, bell and horns on the long hood, the "F" designating the long hood as the front . . . .  Oh, Southern Ry., how I've missed you.

Not a Dash 2 but an original SD40 saved from the deadline.

I do like how the current NS paint scheme looks, but nothing is as classy as a Southern Tuxedo  8)
