The green strikes me as being too blue for useful camouflage. If it is genuine, then LGB haven't checked their colours carefully.

Interesting that there is what looks like a cut down post it note over the 'sensitive' part of the crest on the cab side tho

Re:Is this for real
It was listed on the same page as the to die for looking ,but not quite looking like any actual S.A.R. Mallet tender loco that was discussed the other day.

Re:Is this for real
Its a question of likes and dislikes.
Even though i think historical correct made models or even prototypicals in a museum or else should carry the "hakenkreuz".
A seldom thought in Germany, becaus we are really a bit sensitive about this, and formore, the sign is forbidden here.
But there was a time when people followed that sign, and there is no way to cut it out of history...its a fact, no matter how hard we want that not ever to have happened.
So, like i said, i have no problem with historical correct items.
BUT: neither the object (narrow gauge loco) nor the way it is painted are prototypical. For more, the painting is quite bad. It looks like it just came out of a paintspray.
Finding "that" sign on such a piece of scrub leaves behind a strange smell on my tongue.....no matter how hard i would like to have a mallet, i would NEVER give a coin to ANYONE selling such things. This model was killed by doing that outfit. And i would NOT buy it, no matter if i would like camouflage, millitary or mallets or everthing together in one pot.
I would NOT buy it to bring it back to a normal painting.
If anyone is able to show me a camouflaged narrow gauge train like that, i may change my mind. If a prototypical compareance exists, the whole story above gets another touch.

Re:Is this for real
I agree. On an historically correct model it is acceptable, maybe even important, as a portrait of what was.
Putting such a symbol on a "just for fun" model makes me question the motives of the builder. Either a lack of understanding or maybe something worse.

Re:Is this for real
Mind you I wonder about the Severn Valley Railway this weekend when to quote their publicity
"We turn the clocks back to the 1940s with this lighthearted journey back to wartime Britain."
Nothing wrong with such a themed weekend but I'm not sure about calling it lighthearted.
