Charlie,
I also have two of these BLI E-units reserved but have been wondering whether the side panels will be plated (metallic) or painted. The BLI web photos show painted but at least one of the references says stainless steel. I haven't done my homework yet on prototype photos of 9964 or 9967 to see which they had and when. If the plated version had the same finish as the CZ cars that would be fine with me, although I prefer the plating on the single Walthers E-7 from a couple of years ago.

I have noted in the past that Red seemed to sell better than the Black but as you point out if you model Pre-1959 you have to have Black
