CAPPilot I learned some things from this thread too. It looks like Williams / Bachmann made two versions of the Alco FA. The small postwar style with a fixed apron as posted by c.sam and Ahitpy. And also the scale version posted by cpowell. The scale version has the see-through screens, but a truck-mounted swinging pilot.
c.sam I'm not familiar with the LCCA reissues, so I can't comment on their quality. Sometime in the last few years Lionel released an improved, traditional-size Alco with LionChief Plus. I would LOVE to read a side-by-side comparison of the LC+ version and the Bachmann-Williams reproductions!
