Pennsylvania Railroad MP 15 Diesel Switcher

I picked up this K-Line Pennsylvania Railroad MP 15 Diesel Switcher at Ed's Train Repair and Sales. He often has an interesting selection of used trains, and this one caught my eye for the price.

I've always liked the look of trains with weathering and although this one is clearly unintentionally weathered (i.e. rust, dents, and such), with a little bit of strategic spraying it will do its job in an old turnout somewhere on the line; pushing cars out to the mainline for pickup occasionally, most of the time collecting rust while fancy new engines like the one in the background zip by on the mainline.
