Pretty! The plow looks odd too, but regulations is regulations I suppose.


Also, that horn is going to be extremely loud in the cab I'd think.

Except for the horn, roof piping and ditch lights, it's an ex-SP set, and looks silly in non-native colors with the snow plows. I wonder what possessed the paint shop to paint it Warbonnet rather than Black Widow? *!rolleyes!*
Cheers!
