Lets put it this way, although I might criticize Steamrail for some of
their policies (ie: non-removable headboard), this is much worse. Most
of Steamrail's locos are painted in the proper livery and the ones that
aren't at least look ok. I even prefer K190's pea green livery to this!
The only modifications Steamrail has made to the old red livery on the
carriages is the addition of a yellow stripe and using yellow lettering.
I think this is much more reasonable than the over-done gunzel livery on
that carriage behind 4908. Also, Steamrail doesn't put their logo over
everything in sight like 3801 Ltd. The only thing with permanent logos
is S313, and this is only a temporary livery.
