Mine arrived today.  The red MKT.  I am not able to post pictures but I'm sure someone else will before too long.

For those looking for a scale truck, This isn't it.  It is about 5 3/4 inches long and about 2 1/4 inched high.  Mine

did not come with any instruction manual. I emailed Lionel to send me one.  All that said, I like the truck. I wasn't

expecting it to be scale.  Mine has a flat finish and there are a few pieces that might be fragile - the side mirror,

the rear tail light and the gas port.  I don't have a layout to test it until Christmas and I will wait on the manual

also.  It is on Lionel's website to down load but I want the real thing.  There is a switch on the bottom for conventional

 or command control.  Hope this will help those on the fence.

Just picked mine up over the weekend. I suspect these will get blown out in the future. Way over-scaled - more 'G' scale than 'O'. None the less, I will keep mine though, as I like the heft of this item. I attached some pictures for comparison...

 

 This is the vehicle in comparison to a Matchbox ford pick up that is 1/43 scale...

This is the vehicle compared to a 1/34 First Gear fire truck...

I was hoping it was going to be scaled more like the Matchbox truck, similar to the previously released inspection cars that were done.
