Lionel is offering a FT Texas Special (1934120). Is that pure fantasy? I've been reading on the web about the real Texas Special train in the postwar era. Every reference or picture I see is either a EMD E series engine or an Alco PA. Is that the extent of the engine list in real life? I know both Lionel and MTH have done F3 Texas Specials. It looks like that isn't prototypical either. Can someone confirm that? Thanks for your help.
