(Pic) I guess it depends on exposure during taking the picture...
my wagon is also dark blue
photo no longer available
But I wouldn't mind to have one in a lighter blue, too. 😉

Blue is a notorious colour for looking different in different lights....
The one on display in the cabinet at the Brooklin factory looks like John's model.

OK, I took my model from the display cabinet. Now while it was in the cabinet, the color is much darker. But out in the room with the light flowing in, it lightens right up some. So I imagine these photos being outside in the sunshine are the reason it is looks even lighter still. With that, the color is still a great choice, I love the contrast of the dark blue to the wood panels. This is definitely one of my favorite "Woody" models.
