Thanks !I thought the trucks were wrong . Wasn't sure if it was a variation .
I'll guess I keep on looking . I've always wanted one but will try to get the correct one 😊
The other thing to look for, besides the trucks, is the cast pieces on top of the roof bell/pantagraph/light as sometimes these break, usually the cast light breaks off.

The pilot truck looks correct to me. I just looked at mine. Same rivets, in the same places. Stamped journal boxes. It looks the same as mine. I'll get a photo and post it in the next few minutes.

Your pilot trucks are totally different than the pilot trucks on the engine that the original poster was considering purchasing. You have to click on the small picture of the black engine and make it larger. That engine clearly had Lionel trucks that had sheetmetal journal boxes that were separate from the trucks and did not have the cast cow catchers.
You are correct. My error. I was thinking the photo of the green loco was the one on ebay.
