Has anyone seen Lionel’s NPC GP38? The picture listed in the catalog shows a beautiful locomotive. The picture that Gryzboski has posted on EBay shows a much different picture! I ordered this based on the catalog picture. Now I think I’m regretting it. What do you think?

I'm not sure what I'm missing but....
I think it looks just like the catalog when you look at the other photos where the protective foam packing is not obscuring the paint as much.
I guess the detail I was talking about was the black radiator inlets and the black inertial air inlet. Instead of the nice body colored paint their all black.
Here’s a closer picture!
Ok. Got it.
It could be Lionels attempt at making them appear to be "see through" grills like the prototype, when on this particular model they are not.
I see your point. I guess its your call, cancel your order if possible, or consider trying to paint the grills to match the rest of the locomotive.
Life's short, don't be unhappy.
Send it back.
A friend of mine just received this particular engine and it’s really nice. The sounds are great and it’s in time for the Season. He ordered his from Brian at Legacy Station near Atlanta. He said after the first, January 1st, he’ll bring it over for a test run on my layout. I will then post pictures. Happy Railroading Everyone
