Today I took delivery of the new MTH American Freedom Train GS-4 and am very pleased. The color scheme and colors look great and is a very attractive engine.

Just took delivery of 9 American Freedom passenger cars. Great looking car for the money and well designed. Changing lights (if ever necessary) will be much easier compared to the Aristocraft heavyweights.

A few photos after painting the smokebox and fireboxes black. (Used an airbrush with Testors Floquil 'Engine Black'. Mixture of 1 part thinner with 3 parts paint.) Also note that the white paint on the tires and wheels have been removed as well.
