I just picked up my Atlantic Coast Line FT set. Nice looking set. There are some oddities and comments I have however:
1. Lionel has been using clear snap-in porthole lenses forever. That's how they showed the FT's in the catalog. For some reason, they ended up blacked out. The portholes are solid opaque black. Very strange looking

Hi GregR - Below is a photo of the blacked out portholes from my Rio Grande, could you please post a photo of your Atlantic Coast Line, so we can see how it looks with the purple on the ACL. I am a toy train layout and my wife is from Colorado, so I will make this work.

Someday this issue will become a Lionel Trivia Question, Who made the changes to the FT - Line. This side of the Pacific or the other side of the Pacific Ocean?

Thanks Gary - Click on photo to enlarge.
