I may have to keep an eye out for these. I don't have an A5.
@CAPPilot posted:Pat, I never got back to you on this. My bad. Here are some comparison pics of the MTH and K-Line A5 engines. The MTH is suppose to be 1:48. You can guess which one is the K-Line.
The MTH model is accurately scaled at 1:48. The K-Line tooling has always been oversized for an A5.

Nice work on the updated A5. So glad I ordered one when they were offered 2 years ago! Love all the new details and hinged deck plate.
Wow! I want one! I hope there are extras after the preorders are filled.
here's what a dope I am - 
when I read the post title, "new A5", I got excited thinking you were talking about the ol' Lionel 1615/1656's and such 
well, i guess it's kinda vaguely related.
