Can anyone verify for me whether Lionel #6-28028 2-6-6-6 Virginian Allegheny Steam from 1999 is "scale" or "traditional?" I have no access to a catalog to verify on my own.
Thanks for any help.

Description
It's the locomotive that you've always wanted!
In the early 1940's, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad required a new locomotive to traverse the mountain barrier between the Virginian coal fields and the east coast. The Lima Locomotive Works answered the call with the Allegheny 2-6-6-6 locomotive. Weighing in at over a million pounds and having a maximum tractive power of 110,200 pounds, most railroaders agree that the Allegheny was the most powerful steam locomotive ever built! Imagine seeing, hearing and feeling this brure pulling a long consist on your railroad empire.

Thank you Rick. I truly appreciate your response. This is 15 year old loco (new) but for my investment to get true scale albeit without the most modern Legacy components is important to me.
Again my thanks!
