Just my opinion but, even though that painting & styling on the N&W J is fantasy, Lionel really blew it. It Was named the "American Freedom Train", and each of the three steam locomotives that powered the train (Reading T-1 #1, SP GS-4 #4449, and T&P 2-10-4 #610) were all lettered for the "American Freedom Train. One would thing that Lionel could have at least got the correct lettering on the tender.

Follow this link to see where Lionel got their design from....

No wonder! That is NOT the original "American Freedom Train" website, it is long gone. The site you reference is a site put together by a VERY well meaning historian/railfan, thus tends to take some liberties. I was directly involved with the American Freedom Train and its management, through my employer, Electro-Motive Division of General Motors Corporation.
