I just eyeballed the color. I will try again with a better color.
NARM WIP/Content at work

I'm really excited about your DM&IR Yellowstone. The last time I've been this excited is waiting for K&L Trainz to release their model of Southern 630. I've managed to get Dermmy's EK3 route into TANE and am looking forward to running it on that route. I know that it was built to haul iron ore, but it should work just fine hauling long trains of coal. I'm making the route into a fictional railroad that is 100% steam. Here's the story: CSX, the owner of the route EK3 is based on, decided to put the EK3 up for sale. A shortline holding company picked it up and decided to take advantage of all the coal mines and make this new railroad the first 100% steam railroad in decades. They didn't build brand new locomotives, but instead used ones that are at museums and on display at other places (i.e. city parks) and restore them. They only restored locomotives that were in a condition that would make it feasible to restore it, such as Chesapeake and Ohio 4-8-4 #614.

The hype is real for that Challenger. May I ask, is there an option for Clinchfield and D&RGW versions included in the upcoming pack?
There are currently no plans to do a Clinchfield challenger. However, there are plans to create a DRGW skin for the challengers although they may not make the next NARM release.

The DRGW Challenger would be a modification of the UP model?

Both UP & DRGW Challengers where built by alco at least the the DRGW L-97s and not the L-105s (built by Baldwin) the only difference on the DRGW L-97 that I can see is just the rectangle number plate instead of the Union Pacific sheild going off on what I can see on my Broadway Limited Imports model.

You mean this?
Lionel did this type quite a bit actually
The DRGW challengers built by ALCo were originally meant to go to UP. DRGW had asked for more FTs, but the war production board decided to send them some of the newest batch of UP Challengers instead. DRGW was not impressed with their performance, finding the firebox was rather small for their liking (not to mention they were not as strong as the Baldwins that DRGW had ordered before). DRGW refused to buy them and instead leased them. They were sidelined as much as possible, and eventually transferred to Clinchfield.

that's exactly what I meant. And I also know the history of the challengers of the DRGW had family that work for the company and founded one of the smaller lines that where absorbed into it.
