Lionel Interstate NS heritage unit

It's a nice looking model. I looked at picking up a dummy from Lionel to run with the MTH I already purchased, however Lionel's model is shinny  (MTH version has a flat finish)and the cream color is a lot lighter than the MTH model.

Thanks Scott, I do like the look of to how they looked in Spencer So I do like the Lionel versions. But believe it or not I have never seen the Lionel version in person.  Not even at York a couple of weeks ago. 

I do have a chance to get one that is sealed in its box but I would love to see a a good picture of it first.

thanks again

Here are some photos of the Lionel version.

Thank you so much for the pictures. It does look great.

Heres a few more with some natural sunlight (although a little overcast)on the Interstate. These are awesome locos. I also own a NS Heritage and a Central of Georgia in the non powered version. I am a MTH guy but went with Lionel on the Heritage units because of the awesome semi fixed pilots and the lack of the huge pilot gap that MTH cant seem to remedy. Also, I am not a fan of shiney paint but I do like the gloss on the Lionels because the prototypes are also very glossy. I have been very lucky with no smoke unit issues. Very disturbing the thought of having to send these back for a 5.00 smoke unit motor. (near 20.00 to ship to N.Carolina). My fingers are crossed that I have no smoke unit issues.

Beautiful looking engine.
