Tough decision; I was at that point between the Atlanta & West Point (the black is beautiful) and the B&O (shade of green with yellow trim for it being different); such turmoil in our little world.
I was up all night thinking about it... lol
I took a big chance and pre-ordered the Halloween Pacific - am glad to see it turned out very cool 
I can't wait to get it on the tracks.
Paul, can you give us a video of whistle and sound??
Good job Paul... cant wait to see some videos on this one...
Any more Pacifics?
Peter, take it easy bud!
Those that got them aren't wasting time on the forum. They are off playing with their new toys!
I guess I'll just forget it. I was so caught up in my excitement, I was pushing people to post theirs (as a way of keeping this thread from dying).
I'm confused by the blue Lionel used. Looks like the old style color blue as opposed to the darker blue 425 currently wears, but they also chose to use the new style logo. Odd.
Same for the drivers and trailing truck which should be blue....they were able to color the other Pacifics....
I think the blue has to do with money. They probably don't have every color, so they use the closest ones possible. Or the blue has something to do with the lighting in the pictures.
Are the cab roof and walkways on 425 supposed to be black like the MTH version?

Yes
Let me know when you receive your Pacific.
I saw Eric Siegel running his on the webcam before.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not my video, but someone on the Tube was courteous enough to show his Lionel 425 in action.
The whistle sounds incredible. Easily a match for the whistle on the MTH model.
Here is my video I just got done recording. Sorry for the poor quality, hope you like it. I do, especially the whistle.
That’s a slightly edited 587 whistle
