What is the difference between the 2014/15 and the 2016 "new" 4-6-2 Pacific LionChief Plus engines???
The same Sku # and price is shown in the 2014 and 2016 Lionel ready to run catalogs for some road names but these also show "NEW!" in the description in the 2016 catalog. Looking at the photos the 2016 engines seem to look a lot better or to scale and more detailed then the 2014 images. But I am guessing that the 2014 photos shown are some custom painted engines while the 2016 shows production samples. Any thoughts?? Did Lionel upgrade the molds or details for 2016?
Somehow the 2014 images look toy like the 2016 more scale like.
Wow I think the best looking Lionel engine in the 2016 Catalog is the Reading and Northern Pacific; eye popping blue with smart gold trim looks detailed and sharp.
