The hell it was! The MSRP was $1800.00 with the Brass N8 Cabin Car. Maybe YOU bought it used for $600.00 and several years down the road but those 1990 PRR s2 scale models were top dollar when originally released. I ran mine once and due to slippage had a hard time pulling my PRR K-line 8 car Broadway limited set. It's been a "Shelf Queen" since but I located the Lionel Roller base for it.
I still say it's MORE detailed than the Williams/Third Rail one. The Sounds are steady Turbine sounds with no issues. I have purchased used at auction the 2002 Odessey version and hopefully will be able to run it soon. I LOVE the smoke Deflectors for sure!

As for the Lawsuit comment, Lionel is still making them. Several years ago the Legacy version came out with the Elephant Ears. Yet NO PRR scale T1.
