Again …. E7s will happen before we see the E8.
But to comment ….
The Lionel E8 is kinda ok - I wouldn’t have as the nose isn’t quite done correctly. (My opinion - I’m Very Picky !!!) The white part is much to wide. It should a Very Thin accent against the gold. 🤔

Here is the Lionel (top) side by side with the Key.
The Key gold nose with subtile white trim paint is Much better but is off a bit too - a bit to high (to much red visible under the gold.)

Interestingly, the earliest delivered Frisco E8s did Not have the white trim at all and are quite stunning. To see this, google Frisco E8A Twenty Grand. You’ll see this and several paint iterations.
Cheers 😉
