The model of the Samhongsa version is mine in the NASG database. I
lettered it for the SOO Line. I could never find out for sure that
color the safety stripes were painted--I knew it was either the gold
leaf or Dulux gold. I had talked to two different people with differing
opinions.
If you plan on using that model to pull a trailer make sure it's very
light. It would never pull a Southwind coach or similar...it might do
okay with an AM Budd coach on the level (M&StL style). I had to put
extra weight in mine to pull itself up a fairly short but steep grade.
Only the front truck is powered.
