I am, where the Daylight or Warbonnet schemes are concerned, but I am not considering those models either. That narrows down the field of choice. The Robert Church book is a fine resource but I don't expect Lionel to reproduce 3rd Rail detail and accuracy. I'd be happy if the Daylight colors matched the last two fantasy locos (AC-12 and AC-9).
It would also be nice if the Lionel models of the semi-streamlined locomotives have the correct Daylight "ball & wing" logo on EACH side of the skirts aligned properly.
