@Alabama Joe posted:Great visuals everyone has provided. I really appreciate this info, BUT, rather than all of you all figuring out what should or shouldn’t be appropriate/included, shouldn’t Lionel either have already done their research or, and the most important ‘OR’, shouldn’t Lionel clarify what is and isn’t???????
Well, yes they should, but that doesn't mean they get the right answer. If you ask anyone of the guys that have been on the railroads about anything they have experienced, etc, you will get their answer and sometimes their opinion on things as well. In Lionel's case, their research is whatever they have available which could include(but not always) real folks that have worked on the railroads. Take for example Strasburg #90. Ryan has gone back constantly to make sure he gets things right on that. Now for some other locomotives it's not that easy because the experts may not be around to ask, but their understudies could be here on the forum. Does that sound reasonable?
