Just picked up this Lionel 785. My initial thought: wow this thing is big. The gray finish is almost a medium flat paint. Very well detailed. Love the spoked wheels. Runs and smokes pretty well. It doesn't like my one curve. Im running 054 curve. I think she may need serviced. The tender is very nice. The sound really isn't as bad as i thought it would be. I'll keep it the way it is. I think a good service and cleaning will do her good. Anyone have any suggestions in NYC passenger cars? I found the 1987 or so versions, but I'm afraid they'll be too small.
