Say WHAT? Does anyone have a photo of that?
I know they mulled over maybe getting 611 for the Freedom train for a short while...
From the Lionel 2019V1 catalog - it was one of the 6 choices offered. This is a “what if” scheme but like you said, 611 was realistically considered for the role and there is drawings and documents from Ross Rowland showing the paint scheme for 611, albeit his shows it without the bullet nose more like the J1 warbaby.
