I don't know why they do those goofy catalog pics, but they do. Maybe it will have that high water tank? MTH has done a great job on the GE's that I have so far. What's with that goofy fake fan on the Atlas version anyways?
The MTH 3 rail C truck version below (to show the tank)
What I really can't stand is the terrible horns on the Lionel releases. I don't have to worry as they left 2 rail. It's good that Atlas uses better boards in at least their 2 rail versions.
