I spotted this catalog yesterday evening and was able to print it. I spotted one possible error in it and two definite ones. It's possible that those were corrected in a streaming session that I have not watched yet. In case they weren't, here they are:
Though the catalog is called a "Premier" one, these concern the colors of a new run of Master series Alco C-424 locos. The listings of TP&W 800 and 801 state that their colors are "orange/white". The renderings look like red and white to me. Anyone interested in them would do well to check protos of the real locos, which I'll try to do shortly. The listings list D-L 2403 and Cuyohonga Valley Scenic Railway 4241 also as "orange/white". This is most definitely wrong. The renderings -- and doubtless photos of the full-sized locos -- shoow the former as mostly white, gray and black with red and yellow and the latter as black with red and yellow.
I've now seen several photos of TP&W 800; it looks red and white in some, more like orange in others. I have not been able to see the photos of the 801 on the same website.
