I know I missed a few important railroads like METRA and not all of them are officially "Class 1's", but you get the point.
question: the Vader's here look smaller than the NS's version which looks oddly big in comparison why is that?
ReplyDeleteNS did indeed decide to use a larger backing. I guess they feel it makes the signals more visible.
