Funny. Borrowed graphics, anyone?
Oddly enough the one on the product page for the C&O version from 2005 has both a Lionel IR box and a MTH tether:

Wouldn't be the first time manufactures borrowed another company's product for a catalog illustration. Lionel used 3rd Rails SP 4-4-2 in the catalog they released their SP 4-4-2 in for the first time.
