Hi

Yes it looks great, make sure you get the ip chassis as this will fix on ok ,and get the 4 wheel drive for more pulling power.

Realrust from Busybodies, its just a fine iron powder that you sprinkle on the wet paint and when its dryed you splash some viniger on it and it goes rusty :)

Looks very good, and a neat little train you've got there as well
