@JohnB I have one Legacy engine and I love it...for the whistle and steam whistle effect. So I agree...the Lionel J is the leader in the clubhouse for that reason. Everything I am buying now is Scale...so no Railking for me. I love the size and heft of the Scale offerings of everything.
@Big Jim I have seen reference to the bezel...which is correct...black or silver? I don't mind the repaint of the Lionel...and it would be weathered too, so no big deal. I actually kind of like how the stripe looks from factory though....but don't tell anyone. Shhhhh
