Some footage I was able to capture on the set's inaugural run from Candor- Pinehurst- Aberdeen and return! The event was kept well under the radar until the day of, so chasing was a fun and easy way to bounce around the NC Sandhills. A two hour layover in Pinehurst beside the #2 course was an awesome opportunity to get up close with the engines. The paint is definitely different, with the body coat being similar to a "candy finish" on hot rods, with the color hues consistently shifting due to the lighting. Here's hoping Lionel will start to utilize neighboring NC lines for product development and bring some regional pieces to O! Especially when this road rolls by only a short distance from their home office.. Will update the post with images as I get them edited!
