I just got the new LionChief plus Berkshire. Runs great. I was disappointed with the silver on the sides. I decided to have it painted over. I had JimboCustoms Paint at Ready to Roll do the work. Now I have postwar looking 726. What do you think?

Looks great. My New LC+ 726 is on the layout and running great although it seems to have an issue with the headlight flickering at random while running. I'll see what happens. Appears to happen on curves, maybe a loose connection (hopefully!).
Looks great!
I like it. It looks more like a "working" locomotive now. Nice.
Is there a "before" pic??
I dig it. Nice job. Should have left the factory that way, IMHO.
Are the drivers on the LC Berks the same size as on the "old" 726/736 models or the MPC re-issues?
Here's the before picture

Looks much better now!
Much cleaner!!
much better...and maybe tone down the silver on the rods?
I agree. Great improvement. All you can see when you look at the loco before you had it improved was the silver.
Nice looking engine !!
