Slave to prototype

March 11, 2004 11:09PM
I always thought the bumble bee scheme looked cool with a regular headlight, like when it was applied to the 268. I was hoping that maybe the 473 might at some point in its bumble bee life have gotten its regular headlight back. But in every picture I have found so far, on the Silverton, the San Juan, the Chama-Dulce stub train, as long as the 473 had the bumble bee scheme it apparently not only had the hoky box headlight, but the box was always painted yellow, albeit a rather dirty yellow toward the end. Hopefully somebody can prove me wrong, although I don't care about the yellow versus black....either way that's kinda ungly....I'm hoping somebody can find a picture of the 473 in yellow with a regular headlight....like the 268. If not, is it okay to free lance a bit in the 12 inches to 1 foot scale?
