I will chime in here just this once as I usually do not comment on much of anything in this forum anymore.
The color scheme was chosen by McHugh. It is their colors and I am sure Russo will approve.
The locomotive is a tribute to Jimmy McHugh senior. It is the last one he will have had a hand in building. The number of the locomotive is the year of his birth.
We are greatful to the McHugh team for the work they have put into this locomotive. They have done an excellent job! If any other tourist railroads need assistance with an industrial diesel unit, I highly recommend McHugh. They really know their stuff. We are unloading it this week and will be out for testing once it is set up.
Any other questions will go unanswered. Flame away!

You don't need to know my credentials
or the titles that I hold
or even the railroads I came from
let alone the one I work on!
Nuff said!
