"Here's a sparkly ARR 3012 all ready to news'ify on your website! The nose herald and number boards are the same type and style as the 3007 and 3008. The cab numbers appear to be a slightly different font and perhaps larger/thicker than other GP40 examples. Things to note:
- Silver horns! Not sure if they all start out silver and fade over time or what.
- Gray paint around the headlights. On 3007/3008, those areas are painted yellow.
- Blue plow! That's not unusual, but the cleanness is!"
