With regard to the Lionel Blue Comet:

Last night there was a thread mentioning that there are not enough polls.  I am embarrassed to admit that I have never used the awesome superpowers that come with Premium Membership to initiate a poll.  I wish to both do my part and get my money's worth for my membership fee, so . . .

 

Recent threads (some of them mine) on the Lionel Legacy Blue Comet have discussed various "shortcomings" of that latest Lionel offering:

- a whistle some say is far from prototypical on the locomotive

- dark green tinted windows in the passenger cars

- six wheeled trucks throughout when only some Blue Comet heavyweight cars actually had six wheeled truck

- no window shades

Several adiditonal small descrepencies (no vents on the rooof of the diner - in fact - no diner!) mentioned here and there, etc.

 

So, here is a poll (I hope, I've never done this before) on this most important issue:

The points raised above are among the most important topics we could discuss on this forum and we should drop everything at get to the bottom of this.
It's just another example of a manufacturer not caring. If Lionel was really modern the cars would have photochromic transition windows that tinted themselves under bright lights.
Willis and another one else who cares about this stuff should get a life!
I only look at Comets through a telescope
I don't know the answer but I'm sure its the Chinese factory's fault.
I don't do polls.
