Thx Sean...Again, a beautiful engine...
BTW, Lionel could have simply sanded the dome after being injected and simply made another "dome top" to fit, cost is very very small. they could have even cut the dome by a laser and simply used the cut dome top, problem solved, two extra steps and no mold changes. I have worked with Turbine jet molds using Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber and Kevlar and it is very possible to add to a minor detail to the mold without having to create an expensive new one.
The switches on the bottom are "sometimes" a deal breaker for me, again, for me
Sean, you got me in trouble....I think I will forgive Lionel about the switches placement and get the other Cab #
Now, Who has the best Price????
