IMHO most are happy to have a new engine on their layout. A small, but vocal, percentage will be upset about the shade of color. Isn't that how it always works??
What about the low numbered N&W J models, i.e. #600 with the incorrect crosshead guides? Is THAT how it works also?
Lionel doesn't have the tooling to do those crosshead guides.
Lionel did the correct crosshead guides on the UP FEF-3 4-8-4 models, and the SP GS-4 4-8-4 models, and the UP 4-6-6-4 models, and the UP 4-8-8-4 models, and the NYC Niagara 4-8-4 models, ALL of which have the Laird multiple bearing crosshead guides, which should be on the N&W low number J class models.
Somehow, I don't see the problem with getting high-end models correct.
