Ho scale 611 in the 1950s

[NW Modeling List]

The sticker is awful like the twin beam headlight and the red stripe A-tender.

 The sticker was put on....unfortunately......in April or May of 2015 in Spencer NC as the restoration was being wrapped up. 
Thanks,

The Spirit of Roanoke lettering on the cab is an artifact applied by the VMT in very recent years (probably with the last five or six years) after it was put under the train shed.  Bev Fitzpatrick was the Executive Director of VMT. At this point it was the property of the museum.

 I’m no expert, but I surmise that in addition to the Spirit of Roanoke designation for the refurbished/restored 611, the actual black paint on the restored (excursion version) of the 611 was glossier than the paint on the engines while they were in service.  The available on-line videos of 611 certainly bear that out. 
 
I don't know, what do you think Bill?
