Ugh, not a fan of those high zoom shots.

I am, I think they look fantastic.

I'm in for some PC units, and probably some others for future repaints. I'd LOVE to have a Wilmington & Western 114.

The detail relief on the air tanks is amazing! Looks like I need to get a B&M to strip and repaint into Soo...

Has anyone disassembled their U25C? are the shells glued?

Huh? You want low resolution taken from across the room?

The resolution is great.  And I think these were taken from across the room.

So you are saying that they appear as if the depth is compressed due to the use of a telephoto lens (probably 100mm)?  I don't like that so much either.

Yeah, that's all I was commenting on.  To my eyes, those 3/4 shots are flattening the depth of the model which makes it look weird.   It can also create issues looking at angles of things sometimes.

The broadside shots look pretty good tho!

Is the frame length the same as an nw2?

Ryan:  According to my copy of the BN Locomotive Directory 1992 the overall length and width are the same, and the fuel tanks look very similar, so they may use the same frame.
