George Bush - Nigels - 05-11-2016

Or more specifically an N Gauge model of the SD70ACe which was specially re-painted in 'Air Force One' colours and named George Bush to celebrate his presidency. This is a limited edition model made by Kato of Japan and distributed by Kato USA with a level of detail which is simply breathtaking...

I am assuming this is not George W. Bush but his father George H. W. It is a beautiful looking train. I didn't know they did things like this. Was this a replica of a real train?

Sure is a real world train replica, here's the wiki and here's a few pictures of it;

and a Video;

Super awesome, thanks for the links. Seemed strange seeing it as a freight hauler. Thought it more appropriate on a passenger train.

I know what you mean, I expected it to be hauling a special express service like a Cassiopea or something myself. But maybe it just depends on the train company that owns it? Are they a freight company rather than one that has passenger services also? The way the wiki talked about it there was an indication that they shift mainly freight as they talked about her being mothballed during the credit crunch of 2009 and a downturn in product being shifted around...
