I have a question about this engine. A friend asked me to research this for him. In the new book the illustration shows it As having a blue boiler with black details. The original Lionel has an all black boiler. The MTH one has a blue boiler. I saw video of the prototype and some of it looked clearly blue but some videos showed it As looking black. Which is correct? Also it lists this engine as being 22 inches in length. This can't be right. Funny thing is is that in the announcement for the original Chessie Steam Special it had it at the same length. What is correct? Many thanks in advance.
