Agreed Pete. When these were released most felt the spoked driver may have been a mistake. As opposed to the more commonly seen mix of scullins and boxpoks ,which Lionel offered on the pt tender versions.
I honestly thought Lionel may have had some error in manufacturing and substituted the spoked drivers. Even the catalog image showed boxpoks for this model.
Apparently Lionel has also seen this photograph. It took me nearly two years to find it myself.
