So all of this because of the front truck!? I think that can be addressed...

If you wind up with one having the "scale" wheels, try it on your layout first. They look so much better with the proper pilot wheels. I have an 072 layout, so mine not only has the scale front truck, I re-tendered it with a Lionel PT, as the 5344 had later in life. The Vanderbilt tender doers not belong behind a NYC steamer (ironically....). My 763/5344's Vandy wound up behind a tender-less Lionel SP AC-12 cab-ahead. I converted the tender to oil. It's not really an SP-prototype Vanderbilt (C&O, maybe?), but it sure is closer to proper here than behind a J1e Hudson.

Really bad photo; also, I think I now see all the "bugs" in my layout. Not a current photo; this area is currently undergoing a deep re-do. The window shade is on the way out, too.
