Hi all, has anyone gotten the RS11's that were just released this past summer. I've seen videos of the Halloween one but that's about it. The Conrail patched ex-LV looks neat, but Lionel has been majorly screwing up their paint colors and I want to see if they got the color somewhat right. Also curious if there have been any other electronic or cosmetic issues with these.

My pre-order RS-11 Halloween version performs as advertised, no electronic bugs or body damage upon arrival; this engine easily operates on tight curves. As for the other available RS-11 options, you are smart to do your homework as to prevent any potential buyer frustration.
Thanks, can't justify dropping several hundred bucks for something that might work. I don't consider my huge rivet counter, but something as simple as paint color should be correct. Anyone else have any other pictures?
Do not own one, but have seen the Central Vermont scheme and the green is way off. It's similar to the NYC jade and not the forest green of CV.
Many of them have had to be returned to Lionel because they don't remember new ID numbers. They only operate on ID #1 as shipped.
