Description
Now, the WOLF is a railroad infamous for its paint scheme variations, and certainly we here at the GSBW are hardly ones to dabble in business THAT personal. (We be loco-builders, not artists! XD) But, turns out we had a copy of an old WOLF painting brochure kicking around (called “How to Paint a Wolf,” as I recall), so we did this SA (henceforward the new abbreviation for Standard A, which is a darn awkward class name XD) up according to that. (Stock factory engines get a stock factory paint scheme. ) In my humble oppinion, it don't look half bad. ^^

The tender and cab of this engine took a bit of modding for conversion to firewood handling (pretty hard to “shovel” logs through a vestibule coal chute XD), and basically the back wall of the cab had to be cut out for access to the tender. I was tempted to remove the cab’s side doors, too, for that more “traditional” look, but then figured, hey, on the WOLF, those things might actually come in handy if this fellow ever winds up in Alaskaland.

Hope ya like.

(Note: For all of these SAs that I’ve been posting, I’ve been putting them into my main gallery before putting them into scraps, as is NOT my style for posting repaints. Since this is rather likely the last SA I’ll be posting, I will be from this point on once again posting repaints directly to my scraps (and if it’s your engine I’m posting, I’ll leave you a note to make sure you see it). As good as some repaints look, I do hate to annoy people with pictures in their inboxes that they’ve pretty much already seen (though since each SA I’ve posted HAS been custom modified for its new owner, they’ve KINDA been like new pictures... but then, they’ve been the ones getting gallery status anyway. Hey. XD)
