At the risk of sounding like an arm-chair "nitpicker"-- Yes, I noticed that the "Rio Grande" lettering did not look quite right and perhaps a little "skewed". But then, it may be the angle of the picture and additionally, I am only seeing the engineer side of the locomotive. Also, it needs the firebox painted and the silver trim on the tender under the tank and the locomotive running boards... and the road name and class name on the side of the cab. Hopefully, all this will get put on as time allows. It is still great to see 489 returned to service.
