Also nice to see Lionel will make another Southern Stationsounds dining car for the new set since there's been considerable demand for the two old ones from the early 00's.
I am interested in the Mountain and have wondered for some time if Lionel would reproduce it in Legacy. I hope Lionel does do the engine with white walls. Sometimes they don't reproduce their engines according to the artistic drawings which can be disappointing hence makes me hesitant to do a preorder. I also hope they upgrade the engine with a real coal load instead of the plastic coal load done on the first production run. Here is photo of the 1483 in Alanta. I dont know if it is painted in green but I bet the cab roof is in black unlike Lionel's model!
