My newest locomotive is this Williams F3 in B&M colors. It runs well and the paint is pretty well done. I hope these photos will post, they may be of interest to those considering buying this engine. The photos are on my shelf layout, which is a work in progress.

Yep, your photos posted fine. That's a pretty pair (but what F units aren't?). Fitting that it pulls the classic red-white-blue State of Maine Products boxcar. I remember seeing them every day on the DL&W line near my home.
My pre-order shipped today. My AA and B unit should be here tomorrow. 
Those look great BARailroad! That looks like a nice substantial shelf for a shelf layout. I also like the railroad signs adorning the walls, and the shot of your new Williams under the BM sign. The deals going around on Williams F units have been hard to resist...keep finding myself ogling the Texas Special Set.
Congrats
I would have bought these beauties if they didn't have TBII.

I've got these B&M as well as the Erie F-3's on order with my LHS. They should be here within the next two weeks and, after looking at these photos, I'm really looking forward to seeing these on my layout!

Mine arrived today and I have to say I am impressed. My last WBB F3's were Penn Central's. I had to black out the dynamic screens and paint the horns black.
The paint on these is sharp and crisp. The dynamic screens are already correctly black and appear to be a finer mesh than the silver mesh on my PC F3's. I will get to the horns when I add the MRC sound system and Lionel cab interiors.
The kick plates and all cast in side grabs are painted silver and they really pop! At first, I was taken aback buy the silver of the side screens, but they are growing on me. The simplicity of the paint scheme on the B unit complements both A unit's McGinnis paint scheme very nicely.
WBB even painted the outlined tank details in red.
I am glad I ordered them.
