Last weekend the TCA Midwest division ran a layout for Operation North Pole. ONP is a charity organization to give terminally ill kids and their families a day away from their troubles and make this Christmas a very special one. Metra shrink wraps an engine and the first commuter car to the current years decorations. This is a photo of the real engine and a decorated MTH engine

Very nice replica. Thanks for posting.
Really nice thing to do. Having lived in the area for several years, Metra is a first class operation. Like the smaller version as well.
Which one is real?

Like the paint scheme very much. Really says Merry Christmas. I think the little one is saying......"boy oh boy, when I grow up I want to be like my Daddy" LOL

The top one is the real one.
They both look fake to me!
Thanks for sharing Kevin:
I would like a little more information on the wrap used for the model. I think this opens a whole bunch of new options for people to add interest to their modeling.
