Reply to "Lionel PRR I1s 2-10-0 Decapod from 2023 Big Book"

Here are the Mth Q2 and I1 tenders side by side. I1 in the back and Q2 in the front.

Personally, I’d be shocked if Lionel didn’t buy the Q2 tooling. That’d be a terrific model with legacy. From what I understand, Mth also licensed some tools that are being used across multiple models.

Yeah, that tender is wrong for the Hippo. It does at least have some detail differences though.

This is something I just had to swallow when I got my MTH J1a.

It’s not the end of the world, but I was mostly curious about tooling reuse.

I like @Norm Charbonneau’s idea of using the slightly closer tender from the Lionel J1. Smart cookie that one.

P.S. Norm, i’m not sure I would give up those 3rd Rail models what with their way more accurate tenders (among other things probably). Especially when you could have someone do an upgrade for you.

But if you do, I’d happily buy them from you!
