"Light Mountain Mikado"?

I was curious about that myself...
Does this make the "J" a Streamlined Northern Mikado?

The North Pole Central is in fact based on a USRA Mountain type (4-8-2).
Great job Lionel on the fantasy Christmas themed models!
Interesting how TrainWorld picked the fiction paint scheme to do a video with.

Thanks for the videos Ken. I like that Lionel still has some "whimsy" in its bloodstream.
Can you imagine how much "better" that North Pole shay would look if Lionel used glossy metallic paint? I think this fantasy shay would be amazing if Lionel used the same cherry red metallic that they used on their Christmas Hallmark Store Santa Toymaker Express set from 3 years ago and instead of that safety yellow, a golden/brass metallic would make this loco look stunning.
