So...to my mind, this is kind of an odd choice, is it not? Seems like a lot of effort,$$, etc on Lionel's part to tool up and offer a model of "an unsuccessful freight locomotive"...🤔
Maybe some day they will put together a nice, "short line" type of steam engine, like a low-drivered 2-8-0 or something...
