@PeterA posted:Eric, fascinating to see all these great locos in action. Unfortunately it also showed a Lionel "low point" - not a loco. In the SP GS freight set, the caboose was a NYC wood caboose, painted SP! Historically, an iconic Lionel piece is the 027 sized SP caboose. When I got the catalog and saw that NYC caboose, I immediately wrote Dave Olsen, a SP fan, in hopes they would do at least a modern steel caboose, even if not a SP prototype. I also though it gave them the opportunity to do a scale version of the SP caboose. Didn't happen.
So, I have a friend, who does great 3D printing, make me an accurate scale SP caboose.
And no, I did not buy the freight set (I did get a Daylight GS4, however, so Lionel still got my money)
Yeah, I'm weird because I just don't get bothered by stuff like that. I think it's because I'm actually more into the model trains than real trains, as weird as that sounds. But, yes, I could see how that would upset someone who cares about things being prototypically correct.
