Yes I too thought the Daylight scheme was somewhat blasphemous until I saw I it at the Train Shack while taking a break from a monotonous drive home from SoCal. It's very classy scheme on a terrific model.
Brian,
The only negitive thing I can say is
"What no video"
Good luck and enjoy this beautiful engin.

"What no video"
John, I am admittedly behind the curve. Getting a suitable video camera is on the to do list.
"How about some pics of the K-line NP northcoast limited also. I swear I was looking at the exact same thing on ebay buy it now and by the time I confirmed the funds it was gone and that was the second time around. I had sat on the fence and watched it go buy once. was hoping for a lower relisted price. I have since promised Santa never to sit on the fence again."
I will be happy to post some photos as soon as the cars come out from under the Christmas Tree. When I looked at this set on the K-Line Legacy website, it did not appeal to me as the colors are completely wrong. However, when I saw the car in person, it is correct in color and looks wonderful. Rare and nice.
If you ever see it come up again, you need to grab it at first sight.

The engine with Daylight colors is simply gorgeous!!! I saw the Black version at Alex Malliae's home earlier this year and the detail is great but the new brighter LED's and number board really make a difference..
As for the Camera I bought a Samsung HD camcorder. The beauty of this model is it fits in the palm of your hand, has 2 hour video storage capacity, is Hi-Def and fits well on a flat car for track-side filming. If you have not bought one in the next 3-4 weeks and go are attending Trainstock I will show you my camera (it was only $125).
BTW I posted some videos on you tube this week just search for LITRAIN

Steve:
We will see you at Trainstock and I love to see your camera.
Speaking of cameras for use in our hobby....I was so excited as my wife gave me a GoPro Hero4 for Christmas. We found ourselves returning it to the store yesterday as the software is not compatible with my media center windows xp. Yep, I know xp is no longer supported but the process that the GoPro site put one through to just update the camera (since you could not use their editing, etc. software unless you had at least windows 8) was painful to say the least. So...my big present for Christmas didn't happen...oh well. Anyway, I will go back to using my current cameras for layout pictures and video....

i would have chucked the computer and kept the GoPro. LOL.
Happy New Year!
She's really sweet! It make me have self doubt why I ordered the black version.
Beautiful engine! If I didn't have so many others on order, I would have bought one for sure. Who knows, maybe I will luck out and find one when the train budget is replenished.

Brian,
I use my smart phone. Do you have one? I email the video from my phone to myself. Then save it to my laptop, then post it on the forum. Not that hard to do.
JohnB
Fabulous indeed! It doesn't hurt that it's pictured on such a beautiful layout, too.

Marty....I have the professional (not that I am!) media center software...xp. I have been very happy with it and have found nothing I like better at this point. GoPro should have made their update software, and perhaps some of their editing software, easy to download. Why not make it so that I can plug the camera into my USB port and make the updates, etc...?? Nope, they made it a long drawn out process for the new user....not a good thing. You should go to their website and see what one has to do to manually download updates....it reminds me of the so called "good old days".
Anyway, to get back to this thread....the daylight version is simply beautiful and in my mind the prototype missed out on an outstanding paint scheme!!

Brian; absolutely beautiful engine. Enjoy it in good health.
The Daylight cab forward would be right at home with MTH's Warbonnet steam engine.
That is quite lovely. It really looks good in that paint scheme. It is a beauty -- I still don't want one: there will be no steamers on my layout with the cab on the wrong end), but it looks very good!
Great looking engine to play with on these cooold winter dayz in Maine. Enjoy!!!
