Haha. I guess the fact it's O scale underlines the point, if anything. Great video. With PRR, I've not often seen a good looking HO diesel locomotive, and the same for other 'dip' schemes like the Georgia Railroad. A larger field of colour lets the green in DGLE 'manifest' I think. Discouraging. 13D dip is maybe an endeavour for S scale and above. Wondering if the best scheme for small-scale is going to be something like L&N or Kansas City Southern.
Not all PRR diesels have to be shiny blobs. Lifelike C-Liners with some detailing and weathering.
On one hand lighting at exhibitions doesn't really help with that perception. On the other shiny factory paints can muddy the look with details not exactly popping. Absolutely not the best example with it being O scale, and well 3 rail of all things. But If you want an example of how good weathering can make even the Lacroix of Greens show some detail. But a well done fade with some road dust and some highlight washes around vents will definetely excavate some detail without having to make PC rust buckets even if its subtle.
I was so distracted by the great modeling that I didn't see the 3 rail track !
