2024 Lionel FEF-3's and M1's

Thank you for posting - I have an M1 on order - I’m nervous 😬 🙄

At the very least, I'm hoping Lionel used the same green paint they did with last year's I1's.

It's not a perfect DGLE/Brunswick green, but not a total incorrect eyesore.

…Lionel states in the catalog these versions will have number-specific details, so we'll see if they actually follow through this time around unlike the 2016 run.…

I was disappointed in the FEF 2016 version not having number specific details, ie, the Sellers FWH.  Promptly returned for refund.  

Hopefully you get the advertised model this time-without gearbox or paint issues.

Please post pictures when it arrives.  

If you click on all of the m1s one of them has a date of late September. I forget which engine.

The only one I can see that has a date on it as of writing is the Middle Division Set, and it's got an October ship date. Maybe Lionel changed all of their arrival dates now?

Alright, it looks like the M1's are in-stock at Lionel!

The FEF's are also starting to arrive at the big dealers now, so we should be seeing them soon. I think Lionel's already posted some pictures of the Oscar Meyer hotdog FEF-3 elsewhere. I'm awaiting the call from my local dealer.

Did it have the Sellers FWH system?  

Previous pictures here don’t show fireman’s side…same for youtube videos.
