Interesting, the model has a "passenger pilot", while the photos of the units Kato is doing (4008, 4022) show them with "freight pilots":

4008 May 1970 http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/nyc/nyc4008a08.jpg
4022 May 1958 http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/nyc/nyc4022blr.jpg

Were both locos involved in grade accidents which resulted in them having freight pilots?

The very first ones had this on delivery...

I see someone 'borrowed' my Fakebook quick grab and go photo I posted yesterday then proceeded to add a watermark.

lol

ETA:  I'll post some more photos later here with the shell off and being converted to sound later today also.

Enjoy!

I would bet it was uploaded to the railwire photo library which automatically puts a watermark on it.

If you are talking about the one I posted above (with the Railwire watermark), I pulled it off a flickr page (not anyone's facebook) and posted here.  As suggested by Jbub, I assume the Railwire watermark is automated.  If you are the owner of the copyright, I do apologize. I am reasonably sure you were not the original photographer circa 1948, and if flickr provides such info, I did not find it on the page they showed me.
Edit....errrr.....nevermind....lol.  "Grab and go" has a whole other meaning in the neighborhood I grew up in.

Yeah, my questions stands though.

Here is 4008 in 1953 with the passenger pilot: https://www.railpictures.net/photo/300556/

Slow your roll.

I'm referring to the undecorated model picture.

Right.  If a person had put the watermark it would be more like this.

Back to the model, though - it looks nice.

We can hope that Kato will over some other variations (down the road).

Lol....can you tell I have NEVER, EVER, EVER been involved in copyright controversy?

[nightmare0331]

Apparently I wasn't being clear enough on the marking of the photo in question.  That is my mistake.

I was pointing out the 'as seen on...' which is not part of every photo uploaded.

This is the original.

Sorry for the confusion.
