I picked up this MTH 260e about a year and a half ago. After adjusting the pick-up it ran pretty well but not on Fastrack with the deep flange standard gauge wheels that are on the tender. While that was an issue that I fixed by building my elevated rail the bigger issue was this ugly yellow stripe that someone had painted on around the engine frame edge. The yellow stripe just made the engine look cheap and out of place. After talking to Steve and getting the advice of what to do I painted over said ugly yellow stripe. I went and ran it with some passenger cars that look good with it. Much better now, yes?
