I received my Strasburg 90 a couple of days ago and did the unboxing last night. The box from the store was taped shut but the Lionel shipper was opened. When I opened the box, the l first noticed the smoke fluid missing, doesn’t Lionel always put a sample of smoke fluid in the box? Also in front of the engine there is what looks like a hand rail off the engine. Did anybody else get one of these and did it have the loose handrail? I’m trying to figure out of if it is broken off or an extra part???

No smoke fluid is correct, do u mean. 89?
There was an 0-31 #90 Strasburg produced by train world. I believe it’s sold out now they said they had three left when I ordered mine. Now all I have to figure out is about the handrail .Thanks

Wow, I thought I had missed something about the #90 being shipped!
Well it was shipped, just not the one you ordered. I found out about this one at Trainworld at York. Was 900.00 and runs smaller radius track so I ordered one. Now I’d like to get the 89 and I’m set for close to what the 90 will cost.
How the heck do you get a 10-coupled loco to run on O31 (and what does it look like doing so!?) Pics or videos please!!
Here is a Link to the TrainWorld custom 2-8-0 they called #90: Lionel 2231680 O Strasburg #90 Legacy 2-8-0 (TrainWorld Exclusive)
Does it have the Ghost Whistle like the much anticipated scale #90?
