I recall the discussion over the two different reds. Imo, even if it's accurate it looks terrible.
I wish Lionel could go back to the matching darker oxide red of the Legacy m1 and first run k4.

Agreed. This looked the best from a visual appearance. MTH models had the same shade of paint on cab roof and tender deck (there's was a little brighter, but the concept holds).

I am technically not a rivet counter, but I do want my trains to have the correct paint schemes for my era. Unfortunately, there were not a lot of color photos from the 40s/early 50s. From what I have read, the engine cab roof and tender deck are not the same color. I think MTH got it wrong and Lionel got it right.

Earlier in another topic I said there was nothing in this catalog for me. However, the post-WWII version of the L1 is growing on me and should look good next to my 3rd Rail L1.
