During the '70's Bachmann and/or AHM put out some very brown IC/ICG locos and cars.
It appears Athearn is matching those positively horrible color shades.

Looking at pics of that loco I'd say it's a fine candidate for a 91% isopropyl bath...

Well, I just dropped my 6030 off at my LHS. No problem on the return. All agreed it looked like ****. Now the good news. While I was there, I asked if they had any of the Intermountain SD40-2s. After reading about all the issues on the web, I wanted to see one for myself. I know that Intermountain is coming out with their own ICG 6030. Well, they had a MILW road [no sound][1st run] and holy cow!!! I see why everyone is calling it a 4x4...6x6. I could not believe how high that thing was sitting on the trucks. Then another clerk pulled out a UP unit with Loksound. [2nd run]. I have fallen in love with Loksound because of Bowser, and I am glad to say I have a ICG 6030 on order. The ride height issue has been fixed, The UP unit sat down like a bug in a rug. The missing traction motor is still missing, but that I can fix. Now let's hope they get the orange right. If it is not, then I will cancel my GP10s. Are you listening Intermountain? JL
